Our comprehensive program of events is designed to stimulate high-level discourse, ranging from specialized research seminars and student colloquia to large-scale international conferences and intensive workshops.<\/p>\n\n<p> We are planning a series of Summer Schools aimed at advanced undergraduate\/graduate students and providing deep-dive explorations into mathematical theories. Whether through regular weekly meetings or major international meetings, each initiative reflects our commitment to advancing mathematical knowledge and introducing a collaborative mathematical community in Baku and beyond. <\/p>\n\n      <p> Our weekly seminar programme brings together members and guests around talks that range from recent research announcements to introductory expositions aimed at students. Conferences and workshops bring the wider mathematical community to Baku. Our planned summer school programme will offer intensive training for early-career researchers in areas close to MRC&#8217;s research groups.<\/p>\n      <p>All events are open to everyone with an interest in mathematics.
