Friday, 22 May 2020 10th generation of UP FAMNIT graduates

On Friday, May 22, UP FAMNIT celebrates a new generation of graduates. Unfortunately, the graduation ceremony was canceled due to measures preventing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). Based on instructions of the University of Primorska, we prepared a short but no less sincere video, featuring our warmest congratulations to graduates who completed their studies in the period from May 2019 to April 2020.

On this link you will find the list of our graduates with the titles of their final papers/master's thesis.

In this video, you will find the address of UP FAMNIT Dean, Assoc. Prof. Ademir Hujdurović, PhD, as well as the address of the rector of the University of Primorska, Prof. Klavdija Kutnar, PhD. Two students further shared their thoughts about their study experiences at the faculty: Tina Belej, graduate of the undergraduate study program in Biodiversity, and Mateja Erce, graduate of the master's study program in Applied Psychology. Furthermore, graduates shared fragments of their memories at our faculty in form of valuable photographs and the UP FAMNIT Student Council prepared a special congratulation at the end of the video.

Following the tradition, this year too, nine students received rewards of the Faculty for their outstanding study and research achievements. The reward ceremony will take place at the beginning of the next academic year.

Recipients of the Faculty rewards are:

• Petra Slavinec, Master's study program Nature Conservation, reward for research work,
• Cuauhtli Campos Mijangos, doctoral study program Computer Science, reward for the implementation of 3D printing of protective face masks,
• Nuwan Tharanga Attygalle, doctoral study program Computer Science, reward for the implementation of 3D printing of protective face masks,

• Besfort Shala, undergraduate study program Mathematics, reward for outstanding academic achievements and successes in international competitions,
• Mateo Antonac, undergraduate study program Mathematics in Economics and Finance, reward for academic achievements,
• Sara Brglez, undergraduate study program Biopsychology, reward for important contribution to the development of extracurricular activities of the department.

Recipients of rewards for their active involvement in the development of extracurricular activities for students, based on the proposal of the UP FAMNIT Student Council:

• Amar Bapić, doctoral study program Mathematical Sciences,
• Hana Truta, undergraduate study program Mediterranean Agriculture.

We sincerely congratulate all graduates and recipients of awards and wish them success in their further study, research and careers.

Friday, 8 May 2020 8ECM RESCHEDULED TO 2021

After careful consideration of all available options and in view of the safety and well-being of all participants, a final decision was made to move the date of the 8th European Congress of Mathematics - 8ECM, due to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID - 19).

The 8ECM organizers and the European Mathematical Society – EMS are announcing a new date for the Congress, which is 20 – 26 June, 2021 in Portorož, Slovenia.

One of the innovations at the 8ECM next year is an online streaming format, with the possibility for full and active E-participation, besides the regular format of the conference. Reduced registration fees for different options of E-participation are available, where delegates will have the benefit of participating from home or even from the comfort of their hotel room, thus avoiding the crowds at the Congress centre, but still taking advantage of the early summer in Portorož.

Please see https://8ecm.eu/news/68 for more relevant information about participating at the congress.

Last but certainly not least, the prize winners for 2020 were announced today.

Every four years, during the European Congress of Mathematics, the European Mathematical Society awards 10 EMS Prizes, the Felix Klein Prize and the Otto Neugebauer Prize. All prize winners are usually announced at the Opening Ceremony at the beginning of the congress. Unfortunately, this year the tradition called for an alternative.

Visit  https://8ecm.eu/news/69  to find out who are the winners for 2020!

The 8ECM organizers are confident that the 8ECM will be as magnificent as ever, and are very much looking forward to welcoming you in Portorož, Slovenia in 2021!
