ICMS Conferences
The ICMS conference series aims to present and disseminate advances across a broad spectrum of contemporary fundamental and applied mathematics, and to foster the development of emerging and innovative directions in mathematical research.
The conferences organized by the ICMS–Sofia aim to provide a vibrant platform for the presentation and exchange of recent research developments in contemporary mathematics. They bring together leading experts, early-career researchers, and graduate students to foster collaboration and explore frontiers in both fundamental and applied mathematics.
Each conference is devoted to a specific theme or emerging area, reflecting the interdisciplinary spirit of the ICMS. Topics span a wide range of fields, including but not limited to algebraic geometry, mathematical logic, topology, mathematical physics, number theory, and theoretical computer science. The events are structured to encourage interaction, featuring invited talks, contributed presentations, and ample time for informal discussions. By combining scientific excellence with an open and inclusive atmosphere, the ICMS conferences aim to support the growth of international research networks and to inspire new ideas across disciplines.
Conferences List
Mathematical Quantum Field Theory
Conference in memory of Ivan Todorov (1933–2024). Topics span conformal field theory, vertex operator algebras, integrable systems, gauge theory, gravity, cosmology, and quantum information. 26–30 May 2026, Hall "Prof. Marin Drinov", BAS, Sofia.
Recent Trends in Tropical Geometry
What new structures emerge when algebraic varieties degenerate to piecewise-linear shadows? How do tropical curves illuminate enumerative invariants and mirror symmetry? Where does tropical geometry meet non-archimedean analysis, symplectic topology, and the geometry of moduli? Recent Trends in Tropical Geometry is a research conference bringing together a focused group of mathematicians working in tropical geometry and its interactions with algebraic geometry, enumerative geometry, mirror symmetry, non-archimedean geometry, and related areas.
ICMS & IMSA Joint Conference: Spencer Fest
For his original and insightful research that has had a profound impact on twentieth-century mathematics, and for his role as an inspiring teacher to generations of American mathematicians. Presented by President Bush at a White House Ceremony on October 18, 1989. This is an IMSA event, supported by ICMS, IMSA, the Simons Foundation, National Science Foundation and the University of Miami.
Atoms, Hodge Theory and MMP
This conference is the first in a series of conferences dedicated to the Theory of Atoms, established through the proven collaboration of the ICMS, IHES, IMSA, and UNICAMP consortium. The next conferences will take place in Miami (IMSA) and Brazil (UNICAMP, IMPA). Sponsors: Simons Foundation, National Science Foundation, University of Miami, and Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science. The event is jointly organized by the Research Group on Theory of Atoms, hosted at the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS-Sofia) at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, and the Institute for the Mathematical Sciences of the Americas (IMSA) at the University of Miami.
Workshop on Computational Neuroscience
The Workshop on Computational Neuroscience aims at gathering scientists from various fields of computational neuroscience, including multi-modal brain data acquisition, data analysis and modeling of brain activity. The main goal of the event is to share experience of world leading scientists with fellow scientists and with young researchers and establish new long-term collaborations among them. The workshop will include frontal lectures and a Round Table.
