The work of the KMPB is comprised of three missions:
Promotion of Junior Researchers
For PhD students and junior postdocs, it is crucial to actively attend workshops in their fields of specialization and network with a variety of researchers. Those working in the intersection between mathematics and physics may need to attend a larger number of relevant conferences. The KMPB supports junior researchers by offering lecture series and schools, and provides stipends for attending conferences and workshops.
International Science
The international guests of the KMPB breathe life into its mathematics and mathematical physics seminars and workshops. Short- and long-term visits are financially supported by the KMPB.
The KMPB also extends special support for Ukrainian students and scientists through its international visitor program and scientific collaboration.
Film Forest
Communication and diversity are essential to the growth of science. However, too often is research in mathematics and theoretical physics made only accessible to a handful of experts. Although there is an abundance of media presenting overviews of textbook topics to the public, there are few resources for even the academic community to learn about on-going research avenues, which are always testing the standard paradigms. Moreover, there is still an inadequacy of diversity in the community despite increasing awareness of the situation. This is greatly hindered by the lack of diversity in the presentation of role models.
Our third mission aims to share current research in the connection between mathematics and physics with a broad, diverse community of people who are interested in the sciences, by creating accessible educational videos featuring diverse role models.
