Events

One cornerstone of the CoE activity is to organize joint seminars, workshops and summer schools. Read more about our upcoming events below.
Guillaume Baverez - Colloquium at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics

Assistant Professor Guillaume Baverez (Peking University) will be speaking at the University of Helsinki's Department of Mathematics and Statistics colloquim on 17.12 at 14.15 in room C124 in Exactum.

Title: Three approaches to random Jordan curves and their equivalence

Abstract: 
In the first decade of the 21st century, there were three a priori distinct approaches to conformally invariant measures on Jordan curves: the Schramm-Loewner evolutions, the restriction covariant measures, and the Virasoro unitarising measures. I will review these definitions and discuss a conjecture of Kontsevich and Suhov on their equivalence. Based on joint and ongoing works with Antoine Jego. 
Helge Holden - Colloquium at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics

Professor Helge Holden (NTNU Trondheim) will be speaking at the University of Helsinki's Department of Mathematics and Statistics colloquim on 17.12 at 16.15 in room CK112 in Exactum.
 
Title: The Abel Prize --- one of the most prestigious prizes in mathematics

Abstract:  
We will survey the Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel's short life and accomplishments. Next, we will give the background for the Abel Prize in mathematics that is awarded annually, starting in 2003.  Finally, we will provide glimpses into some of the Abel Laureates.
Stochastic Sauna 2025

Stochastic sauna is a yearly Finnish meeting for scientists applying or developing the mathematical theory of probability. In 2025, the meeting will take place at Åbo Akademi in Turku 18-19.12.

Please view the programme and by the 30th of November (participation is free).
Finnish Mathematical Days 2026

A biennial meeting organised by the Finnish Mathematical Society on the theme of mathematics research and teaching, taking place 8-9.1.2026 at the University of Jyväskylä. Read more and register by the 12th of December.
Interplay of Conformal Geometry and Integrability Beyond the Arctic Workshop

The aim of this workshop, taking place in 1-7.2.2026, is to bring together a small number of people working on dimers, integrability, and CFT, especially on their geometric aspects. More information about the workshop can be found .
Geometric and Probabilistic Aspects in Conformal Field Theory Programme

The Geometric and Probabilistic Aspects in Conformal Field Theory Programme, chaired by Associate Professor Eveliina Peltola, takes place at the Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques (CIRM) in Marseille, France from July to December of 2026. More information about the programme can be found .

Research School - Loop Models, Conformal Field Theory, and Geometry

, taking place from the 24th to the 28th of August 2026, aims to introduce young researchers to the field of Loop Models, Conformal Field Theory and Geometry, and to enable established researchers to expand their scope and to interact with others having slightly different backgrounds but working on related problems.

Conference - Geometric and Probabilistic Aspects in Quantum Field Theory

More information on the conference, running from the 31st of August to the 5th of September 2026, can be accessed .

Workshop - Logarithmic CFT, Loop Models, and Random Geometry

In the Logarithmic CFT, Loop Models, and Random Geometry Workshop, taking place 7-11.12.2026, the plan is to bring together experts with complementary expertise on these topics, for collaborating towards the rigorous foundations of CFT and especially their logarithmic aspects, and how they arise as scaling limits of lattice models.
