The findings of the #TIMSS study are a wake-up call for Norway: a striking 42% of 5th graders and 66% of 9th graders report that they do not enjoy learning math. This is a serious problem – thanks to Aftenposten for allowing us to comment on this aftenposten.no/meninger/debat…

Happy Holidays!

A pleasant surprise to find this special issue of the Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra in the library of the Renyi Institut in Budapest 🙏

Norway needs a boost for mathematics - also in fundamental research. Together with Dag Rune Olsen, Hans Munthe-Kaas and Helge Holden we argue that the Lie - Størmer Center at UiT Norges arktiske universitet established together with Universitetet i Bergen is an important step in this endeavour! nordnorskdebatt.no/norge-trenger-…

🌟 Do you know a PhD candidate nearing the finish line or a PostDoc looking for an exciting opportunity to pursue an ambitious MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship? UiT Norges arktiske universitet offers a fantastic program to help you prepare 📋 More details here: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/309704

This year’s Mørketidens Mattemøte – the 7th edition – once again brought mathematicians from across Norway and the Nordic countries to UiT Norges arktiske universitet for two inspiring days of idea exchange and new connections. Thanks to Trond Mohn for the continued support for mathematics!

We had the successful kick-off of our new Indo-Norwegian project: "Mathematical Theory of Data Transmission and Data Encryption" 🎉. Over the next 3 years, we’ll collaborate closely with our partners to foster educational and research exchanges between Norway and India. 🌍📊🔒

Exciting 3 years ahead 🎉

Stay safe and thanks for protecting Europe ❤️ I wish you all the best and victory 🙏

Beautiful hike yesterday from the Oberwolfach Math Research Center to St Roman and back.

There are almost exactly 20 years between these two pictures. The main two fix points: me (aged over 20 years) and the most amazing math institute: MFO. Thank everyone here for ensuring that this paradise for research is able to give important impact to mathematical science!

9 March 1939 | A French Jewish girl, Suzanne Driay, was born in Paris. She arrived at #Auschwitz on 2 June 1944 in a transport of 1,000 Jews deported from Drancy. She was among the 627 people killed in a gas chamber immediately after selection.

Norway's house for mathematics is being built at UiT Norges arktiske universitet . Brick by brick 🧱 - and we have come some way in such a short time! But still some way to go!

Wonderful visit to our European University Alliance for Global Health - partner Université Paris-Saclay . Thank you very much for the invitation to Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques - IHES - to look at joint interests with Lie - Størmer Center and for good discussions at the Math institute to explore collaboration in teaching math with UiT Norges arktiske universitet

Normally, I am not the kind of person for birding. But with these cute birds, I made an exception.#iceland #Puffin #birding

Holidays - what could be better than to hike up 1850 meters where the heat is still bearable and the view is amazing!
