Barcelona Graduate School of Maths (BGS Maths) Areas of research: Core Mathematics; Mathematical Modelling for Engineering, Life and Social Sciences; Statistics and Data Science; Computer Science and Logic Location: Barcelona. Website: www.bgsmath.cat; Contact: secretariat@bgsmath.cat
The Barcelona Graduate School of Maths (BGSMath) is a collaborative initiative of the research groups in mathematics of the four main universities located in the Barcelona area: Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), Universitat de Barcelona (UB), Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), and an international research centre, Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM). A relatively young institution (launched in 2013), it aims to deliver the best possible training for graduates and early stage researchers in all areas of mathematics (core and applied), whereas building up a corpus of world class scientific output. It is physically distributed over four campuses: three located in downtown Barcelona, one in nearby Bellaterra where the one stop office is based. Barcelona has become in the last decades an outstanding international hub in mathematical research, as the Maria de Maeztu Excellence Award (2015) received by the BGSMath has proven. Our wide portfolio covers both core and applied mathematics, reaching areas such as computing, modeling in life and social sciences, and data science. Cross-fertilization among diverse areas of mathematics is strongly encouraged as a source of creativity. Regarding innovation, the BGSMath has a strong record focused on delivering data analysis services and tailored training through the Servei d´Estadistica Aplicada (UAB). The BGSMath gathers more than 200 faculty members, organized in approximately 40 groups working in one of the following strategic areas: Algebra, Geometry and Topology; Number Theory; Analysis and Partial Differential Equations; Dynamical Systems Discrete mathematics; Probability and Statistics; Data Science; Computer Science and Logic; Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Analysis. The CRM is the managing institution of BGSMath, and was awarded in 2015 the Human Resources for Scientific Researchers (HR4SR) policy. Our young researchers are offered a full-fledged training package, both in core mathematics, research and transferrable skills. Every semester, advanced graduate courses taught by international scientific leaders of the diverse topics are a fundamental ingredient. An itinerary of generic research and transferrable skills (RRI, communication and outreach, tech transfer and innovation)
