The ICMS seminar aims to present and disseminate advances in different fields of the contemporary fundamental and applied mathematics, and to promote new cutting edge directions in Mathematics. The seminar hosts scientific reports by collaborators and visitors of the ICMS, as well as colloquium-style lectures by invited speakers. The interdisciplinary features of the ICMS are reflected in the variety of topics covered in the seminar, ranging in algebraic and differential geometry, number theory, category theory, combinatorics, representation theory, mathematical physics, algebraic coding theory, etc. The venue is open to a wide audience, and the lectures are followed by time for interaction and discussion.
