Organizing Society:

Real Sociedad
Matemática Española
(RSME)

Founded in 1911 and reconstituted in 1996, the Real Sociedad Matemática Española (RSME) [Royal Spanish Mathematical Society] is the primary Spanish mathematical association that represents and looks out for the interests of all people of this discipline in the country, both at the national and at the international level. With its different bulletins, commissions, congresses, schools, awards and publications, the RSME not only plays a purely institutional and formal role but also becomes the organic means through which the Spanish mathematical community articulates, communicates, coordinates and expresses itself.

The RSME is determined to play a central role in the young Spanish mathematical community. To promote collaboration and interaction inside this young community, the RSME organizes, since 2011, every other year, the Congreso de Jóvenes Investigadores [Congress of Young Researchers], where young researchers can present their first results and interact with other young researchers interested in maintaining a link to Spain. Furthermore, to recognize the research of the best young researchers in mathematics, the RSME gives each year the Vicen Caselles Awards, in collaboration with the BBVA Foundation since el 2015, and the Rubio de France Prize since 2004. And for looking out for the interest of the young Spanish mathematical community, the RSME has, since 2018, the Comisión de Jóvenes [Young Commission], presided over today by the mathematician Erika Diz Pita.

Hosting and Organizing
Institution:

Universidad del País Vasco/
Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea
(UPV/EHU)

Founded on February 25th, 1980, after the incorporation to the University of Bilbao of the higher education centers in Gipuzkoa and Araba, Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (UPV/EHU) [University of the Basque Country] is the most prominent university of the Basque Country—and one of the first of the whole Spain—with campuses in the three Basque provinces: in Biscay, distributed across Bilbao, Leioa, Barakaldo and Portugalete; in Gipuzkoa, distributed between Donostia and Eibar; and in Araba, located at Vitoria-Gasteiz.

In its logo (designed by the Basque artist Eduardo Chillida), one can read the motto of the university:

eman ta zabal zazu

Under this motto (which means “give and extend it”), the UPV/EHU “gives” (researches) and “extends” (teaches) knowledge to the Basque people in all the areas of inquiry. Regarding mathematics, this branch can be found in the so-called Leioa campus. There, in the Department of Mathematics, in the Facultad de Ciencia y Tecnología (ZTF-FCT) [College of Science and Technology], the new Basque mathematics and mathematicians are created and formed.

Co-Organizing Institution:

Basque Center
for Applied Mathematics
(BCAM)

Founded in 2008 with the support of the Basque Government, the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM) is the most important research center of applied mathematics not only in the Basque Country but also in the whole of Spain. Its recognition as Centro de Excelencia Severo Ochoa [Severo Ochoa Excellence Center] neither once nor twice, but three consecutive times since 2013, justifies this qualification. In addition, the BCAM is not only a leading research center, but it plays a central role in the Basque (and international) industry with its successful projects of mathematical-technological transfer.

Among the successes of the BCAM in the industrial world, we find the collaboration with Basque Healthcare System, Osakidetza on the modelization and prediction of the evolution of COVID-19; with the Athletic Club Bilbao on the prediction of casualties in players; with the coffee company illy on the modelization at the microscopic level of the mixture of coffee and water; and with the insurance company Lagun Aro on the prediction of termination of contracted insurances.

Sponsors

RSME's 7th Congress of Young Researchers has several instutions and companies that collaborate with the congress: the Basque Statistics Office, the Foral Diputation of Biscay, Bilbao City Council, through the BILBOMATH project with BCAM; and Laboral Kutxa.

Basque Statistics Office
(EUSTAT)

Foral Diputation of Biscay

The Foral Diputation of Biscay is the govberment of the historical region of Biscay. Biscay has its own tax regime that the Foral Diputation administers, being responsible for the roads, public works, and the cultural and enviromental patrimony. The institution works so that no one in Biscay is left behind, for which the institution provides services so that all people can have a full decent normal life. The Foral Diputation of Biscay develops public policies to answer the current technological, enviromental and demographic challenges, and so improve the comptetitivity of the region and generate quality jobs that serve the well-being of the whole society. In this way, Biscay will continue being an innovative region with atractive and open talent that is connected and balanced.

Through its non-profit organization Bizkaia Talent, the diputation helps and promotes that highly qualified professionals (among which one finds the researchers in mathematics) from all around the world could make of Biscay their place of residence and work.

BILBOMATH
Bilbao City Council
& BCAM

The BILBOMATH of the Bilbao City Council and the BCAM is a project whose objective is the promotion of internationalization, dissemination and innovation activities in Bilbao, with which the capital of Biscay hopes to favor the innovation and attraction of talent. Among the six objectives of the project, one finds the organization by the BCAM of international mathematical conferences and events, among which the present congress of the RSME finds itself.

---

Laboral Kutxa

Laboral Kutxa is a credit cooperative with the objective to attend to the financial needs of their members and clients. The entity finds itself integrated into the MONDRAGON Corporation, channeling its desire for social promotion through the punctual support of the activities of the corporative institutions. Additionally, it extends its social commitment through the economic and sociocultural development in the society in which it acts. Nowadays, it finds itself in the process of growth and transformation. Because of this, it is strengthening its methodological and technical capacities, in which mathematical professionals will play a relevant role.
