The three-day research event combines a mini-course and a min-workshop on optimal transport. It aims to provide a welcoming and inclusive platform for presenting research, fostering collaboration, and inspiring new research directions among participants. The event is supported by the School of Mathematics and Statistics and the Sydney Mathematical Research Institute (SMRI) All staff, students, […]
This 3-day intensive winter school will cover and discuss two fundamental results in computational complexity, which redefined the way we think about proofs, and led to a plethora of new research directions, results, and insights. The IP=SPACE Theorem (the power of interaction) The PCP Theorem (the power of randomization) Location:University of Sydney, Computer Science Building […]
What can the histories of mathematics from all societies worldwide tell us about mathematics we may need to tackle 21st century global problems? This workshop aims to bring together cross-cultural, historical, and frontier mathematical knowledge. What are the greatest mathematical challenges for humanity? In 1959 ‘the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics’ was contemplated by Wigner as […]
The event will bring together leading dynamicists and number theorists from both Australia and overseas to explore recent advances at the intersection of their fields. The conference will highlight cutting-edge developments in Diophantine approximation, homogeneous dynamics, and algebraic dynamical systems—areas that have seen rapid progress through deep conceptual interplay. It will also showcase the impact […]
ICOTS is held every four years around the world, and is the most important event in the statistics and data education calendar. For the first time ICOTS is being held in Australia at the beautiful Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre in its vibrant South Bank precinct. The rich ICOTS 12 Programme features renowned keynotes, including […]
Algebraic Geometry Workshop Location: University of Melbourne
Join us for this two-day interdisciplinary forum grounded in the science of AI safety as explored in the International AI Safety Report, as we bring together people from across research, government, industry and civil society to shape Australia’s role in AI safety. Location:The University of Sydney
AMSI Winter School is an advanced training program for postgraduate students, early-career researchers, and industry professionals held annually around a central theme selected from emerging national and global research priorities in the mathematical sciences. Each two-week program provides a scaffolded, graduate-accessible introduction to current research developments, delivered by leading national and international experts To enhance […]

Please enjoy this welcome video showcasing Western Sydney University in the lead up to […]
The Australian Probability Conference 2026 will bring together researchers in probability, stochastic processes, mathematical statistics, and their applications. We particularly encourage participation from HDR students and early career researchers. Location:University of Queensland
#May12 #WomenInMaths #May12WIM Join us for an evening celebrating women in mathematics here at the University of Sydney. All welcome.Featuring talks from: Neda Khodabakhsh JonianiNalini JoshiMadeline NurcombePratibha PanwarAnd a special screening: Je suis Sophie Germain Talk details: ‘Mathematical Modelling of Corneal Epithelial Cells’Neda Khodabakhsh Joniani Abstract: The corneal epithelium is a self-renewing, multilayered tissue maintained by […]
Humans tend to be better at physics than at mathematics. When an apple falls from a tree, there are more people who can catch it — they sense physically how the apple moves — than people who can compute its trajectory from a differential equation. Applying physical ideas to discover and explain mathematical results is therefore natural, even if it has seldom been tried in the history of science. […]
