From December 16 to 19, 2024, we hosted an educational workshop on the Theory of Atoms. The goal of this workshop was to explain the foundations of the new theory of atoms, introduced recently by L. Katzarkov, M. Kontsevich, T. Pantev and T. Yu. The workshop attracted over 40 researchers from around the world, including Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Mexico, South Korea, Switzerland, and the USA, underscoring its global significance. The event marked the launch of a new 5-year program on the Theory of Atoms, supported by a grant from the Simons Foundation and funding from the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Bulgaria.

The Fifth International Conference "Women in Mathematics in South-Eastern Europe" was officially opened, bringing together prominent mathematicians from a variety of fields. The event serves as a platform for fostering collaboration and highlighting the achievements of women in mathematics. The opening ceremony was graced by the presence of the President of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Prof. Evelina Slavcheva. In her opening remarks, Prof. Slavcheva emphasized the essential role of women in advancing science, particularly in the field of mathematics.
