Aims of the Center
The Center intends to:
-
gather Italian and foreign researchers, both junior and senior, with the
idea of fostering collaboration and exchange of ideas, producing researchers
specializing in interdisciplinary endeavors, (Junior visiting, Senior visiting, Research in pairs)
- organize periods of several months during which there will be a focus on
a research area of particular relevance, including pure mathematics, applications
in the natural and social sciences, e.g. physics, biology, finance and economics. (Intensive research periods)
These periods of specialization will bring together Italian and foreign scientists
and will also provide an environment for the training of researchers from
developing countries, (Grants and open positions)
- promote new ideas and research at the frontiers of interdisciplinary studies, (Workshops, Schools, Lectures)
- promote the formation of collaborative research nuclei from among those present, (Research groups)
- advance particular areas of mathematics, their application to the natural
and social sciences, and their application to problems in the industrial and
technological arena. (Research groups)
The Center intends also to contribute to the 'cultural mathematical formation'
of teachers and the public; in fact, while for centuries some familiarity with
mathematics was regarded as an indispensable part of the intellectual
equipment of every cultured person, nowadays, when mathematics pervade both
science and technology more than ever, its diffusion amongst the public has lagged. (
