Reviving Ukrainian science: International Centre for Mathematics in Ukraine (ICMU)

Abstract

For more than three years, Ukraine has been making headlines around the world. A bloody war, incessant bombing of cities, destroyed infrastructure, millions of refugees… And yet, even in the midst of this tragic news, there is a place for science. In 2022 a group of academics initiated an ambitious project – a new centre for mathematical sciences with the mission to support top-level research in mathematics. The position of its scientific director is held by Maryna Viazovska, a 2022 Fields Medal laureate.
