The event "Frontiers in Mathematics: A Brazil–China Meeting on Opportunities for Undergraduate Students and Young Researchers", to be held on September 22–23, 2026, is jointly organized by the Instituto de Matemática e Estatística of Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (IME-UERJ) and the Shanghai Institute for Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Sciences (SIMIS). It aims to bring together undergraduate students, master's students, young researchers, and faculty members in an academic environment that promotes scientific exchange, collaboration, and professional development.
The program will feature accessible talks by researchers from Brazil and China, introducing participants to current research directions in mathematics and related interdisciplinary fields. The event is designed to help students explore research areas of interest and gain insight into academic opportunities available at different stages of their careers.
A special component of the meeting will be the presentation of the graduate programs and research activities of SIMIS. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about its academic environment, research groups, international collaborations, scholarships, and other forms of support available for students pursuing advanced studies.
The event will also include a Student Poster Session, where the students can present their ongoing work, exchange ideas, receive feedback from researchers, and interact with students from different institutions.
The meeting aims to foster connections among students, researchers, and institutions, creating opportunities for networking, future collaborations, and international academic exchange. We hope that it will inspire the next generation of mathematicians and researchers while contributing to the strengthening of scientific ties between Brazil and China.
