As the third country in Europe, Norway has established the innovation programme SPARK based on Stanford SPARK. At this kick-off UiO showcased the first Norwegian SPARK teams – SPARKees. See pictures and watch videos from the event.

Welcome to the annual Darwin Day celebration at the university of Oslo. This open event is for everybody interested in science and history. Topic this year: The ecology and evolution of infectious diseases.

A Cartan-Eilenberg system is an algebraic structure introduced as a model of the diagram obtained by taking the homology of all subquotients in a filtered chain complex. There are two exact couples and a single spectral sequence associated with such a system, and one may thus apply Boardman's theory of convergence to either exact couple. After reviewing parts of this theory, I will clarify the convergence situation in a Cartan-Eilenberg system and in particular present new work on a simpler interpretation of Boardman's whole plane obstruction group.   

Zahra Afsar (University of Wollongong, Australia) will give a talk with title: Nica-Toeplitz-algebras of *-commuting local homeomorphisms and equilibrium states

Abstract: Given a family of *-commuting local homeomorphisms on a compact space, we can build a compactly aligned product system of Hilbert bimodules. The product system has a Nica-Toeplitz algebra which carries a gauge action of a higher-dimensional torus, and there are many possible dynamics obtained by composing with different embeddings of the real line in this torus. In this work, which is a joint work with Prof. Astrid an Huef and Prof. Iain Raeburn, I will talk about the equilibrium states of these dynamics. If time allows, I will also provide some examples from higher rank graph theory and reconcile our results with those existing ones.

I will give a series of talks about Legendrian contact homology, an invariant of Legendrian submanifolds in 1-jet spaces, defined by a count of pseudo-holomorphic curves. In this first lecture I will give a brief and gentle introduction to symplectic and contact geometry, with focus on Lagrangian and Legendrian submanifolds. No previous knowledge about the subject is needed, except for elementary knowledge about differentiable manifolds.   

This seminar is a joint event between the Sven Furberg seminars in Bioinformatics and Statistical genomics and the Hans Prydz Guest Lectures.

The two lectures will be presented by Dr. Tuuli Lappalainen, Junior Investigator and Core Member at the New York Genome Center, and Assistant Professor in the Department of Systems Biology at Columbia University, New York, USA, and Dr. Julio Saez-Rodriguez, Professor of Computational Biomedicine at the RWTH-Aachen University Hospital, Aachen, German, and visiting group leader at the EMBL-EBI.

The winter school, which takes place in Oslo from 22.-26. January 2018 and which is supported by the Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Education in connection with a Norwegian-Ukrainian cooperation in mathematical education, brings together students and researchers from Ukraine (National Technical University of Ukraine, "Igor Sikorski Kyiv Polytechnic Institute", Vasyl' Stus Donetsk National University, Vinnitsa and Uzhgorod National University, Uzhgorod) and Norway (University of Oslo).

The talks and mini-courses given at the winter school, which is attended by 40 invited participants, pertain to topics in stochastic analysis, probability theory and related fields.

Further, presentations are also devoted to the issue of training and preparation of students for mathematical olympiads and other international competitions in mathematics.
