About us
The newly established International Center for Mathematical Sciences – Sofia is a dynamic research unit for developing and dissemination of cutting edge new directions in Mathematics. It is affiliated with the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences which is providing the infrastructure for the activities of the Center. The Center is supported by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Bulgaria. The Activities of the ICMS – Sofia are carried out in collaboration with the Institute of the Mathematical Sciences of the Americas at the University of Miami (IMSA) and Higher School of Economics, National Research University, Moscow (HSE University). The ICMS-Sofia is also working in collaboration with Bulgarian universities and institutes of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
The Center was created following inspirational discussions with many members of the mathematical community in Bulgaria and the Bulgarian mathematical diaspora. In July 2019, ICMS-Sofia initiated its full-scale presence on the European mathematical scene with the full support of Acad. Julian Revalski, President of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
The first director of ICMS-Sofia was Acad. Blagovest Sendov.

Metric Geometry of Singularities
The goal of the meeting is to gather researchers interested in metric geometry of singularities and Lipschitz geometry. There will be two, three short courses and eight talks. The event will be held at the University of Chicago Center in Paris with some limited in person participation. All talks will be broadcasted through Zoom.
Recent Developments in Hodge Theory
The ICMS-Sofia invites you to attend the virtual conference Recent Developments in Hodge Theory which is going to be held on March 29 – April 02, 2021. Jointly organized with the Institute of the Mathematical Sciences of the Americas at the University of Miami (IMSA).
Inaugural Conference
Because of the complicated situation concerning the spread of COVID-19 and in view of the safety and well-being of all participants, a final decision was taken to cancel the conference “Complex Geometry”, Inaugural Conference of the International Center for Mathematical Sciences – Sofia and Satellite conference of the 8th European Congress of Mathematics.
Stay safe and stay healthy!
