The International Conference on Modern Mathematical Methods and High-Performance Computing in Science & Technology will bring together leading researchers, academicians, engineers, and industry experts to explore the latest advancements at the intersection of mathematics, computational science, and emerging technologies. As modern scientific challenges grow increasingly complex, the role of advanced mathematical techniques and high-performance computing (HPC) in driving innovation and discovery has become more critical than ever. This conference will serve as a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration, focusing on key areas such as Quantum Computing, Exa-Scale Computing, Metaheuristics, Numerical Linear Algebra for Large-Scale Scientific Computing, and Quantum Communications. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue among mathematicians, computer scientists, and engineers, the event will promote the development of innovative problem-solving approaches and accelerate progress in computational physics, chemistry, material science, and beyond.

This program bring together researchers working in Bayesian nonparametric inference (BNP), including computation, foundations, methodology and application of BNP methods, with the goal of identifying newly emerging computational strategies and inference approaches. The program and invited talks are planned to balance theoretical expertise, interest and prowess in computational methods, and exposure to selected substantial application areas. The intended nature of the program as identifying synergies of different approaches and potentially new research directions naturally leads to favoring breath over depth, with more emphasis on covering diverse areas rather than on in-depth discussions of a single specific theme.

The workshop aims to showcase new techniques and open problems, foster lively exchanges between analysts at all career stages, and outline key questions driving current research in mathematical fluid dynamics. The event will bring together leading experts and early-career researchers interested in the analytical study of fluid motion. Through a series of invited and contributed talks, participants will have the opportunity to share their latest results, exchange ideas, and discuss promising directions for future work.

Webs are diagrammatic tools for representing complex calculations graphically. These diagrams first arose from the representation theory of classical groups, and they have since become important in disparate areas of mathematics. The goal of this workshop is thus to bring together experts from these communities and cross-fertilize these diverse subjects by spreading knowledge of recent developments and perspectives on our shared interest in webs. This workshop will also provide an opportunity for distinct research groups to share current code functionality as well as future needs and desires, with an aim towards building collaborative and open-source computing capabilities.

The seminar is a high-level academic forum promoted by the Unión Matemática de América Latina y el Caribe (UMALCA) and the International Community of Mathematicians of Latin America (ICMAM). Its purpose is to strengthen research, collaboration, and advanced training in mathematics, creating a meeting point for established researchers, young academics, and graduate students from across the region. The next speaker is Mariel Vázquez, who will give a talk titled "Geometry and Topology in Molecular Biology" from the University of California.

The series of short webinars organized by EU-MATHS-IN aims to raise the awareness of how companies have overcome their challenges and the benefits they have achieved by taking advantage of Industrial Mathematics technologies. On this occasion, the focus will be on logistics and management in companies through the Nors Group experience. In addition to Pedro Louro (Nors Group), we will have two guest speakers who have extensive experience in technology transfer: Alfredo Bermúdez de Castro (USC & CITMAga) and Uwe Iben (Robert Bosch GmbH).
