SUMMER SCHOOL of the Centro Internazionale Matematico Estivo and the European Mathematical Society Supported by UNESCO-Roste Cusanus Akademie Bressanone (Bolzano) 6th-13th July 2003 The aim of the SUMMER SCHOOL is to provide a broad and accurate knowledge of some of the most up to date and relevant topics in Mathematical Finance. Particular attention will be devoted to the investigation of innovative methods from stochastic analysis that play a fundamental role in the mathematical modelling of finance or insurance. Courses Stochastic Methods in Finance The school will provide an occasion to facilitate and stimulate discussion between all participants, in particular, young researchers and lecturers, for whom limited financial support will be available. * Partial and asymmetric information.

Introducing Introducing the Committee (part 2) Victor Buchstaber graduated from the Moscow State University (MSU) in 1969 and went on to postgraduate study there, with advisors Sergei P. Novikov and Dmitri B. Fukhs. He received his PhD in 1970 and a DSc in 1984. He has been Research Leader of the topology division of the Steklov Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Science, Professor in Higher Geometry and Topology at the MSU, and Head of the Mathematical Modelling Division at the National Scientific and Research Institute for Physical, Technical and Radio-technical Measurements. He has been on the Council of the Moscow Mathematical Society, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Uspekhi Mat. Nauk, and Head of the Expert Committee in Mathematics in the Russian Foundation for Basic Research. Doina Cioranescu has been Directeur du Recherche at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Laboratoire d’Analyse Numérique Paris VI, since 1981. She graduated from the University of Bucharest in partial differential equations in 1966, and became associate researcher at the CNRS in 1971, receiving her Doctorat d’État in 1978 at Université Paris VI. Her research interests are mainly concentrated in the modelling of non-Newtonian fluids, homogenisation theory (in particular, applied to perforated domains and reticulated structures), and control problems in heterogeneous media. She has been involved in several international scientific projects, including being scientific coordinator of the CE Eurohomogenisation Science programme. Since 1997 she has been a member of the management committee of the French Society of Applied Mathematics. In January she was joint organiser of the EMS-SMAI-SMF meeting Mathématiques Appliquées – Applications des Mathématiques in Nice. Pavel Exner graduated from Charles University, Prague, in 1969, and has worked in several places, including a dozen years at the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics in Dubna. He currently heads a mathematical-physics research group at the Czech Academy of Sciences. His scientific interests are primarily concerned with mathematical problems and methods of quantum theory – in particular, unstable systems, scattering theory, functional integration and quantum mechanics on graphs, surfaces, quantum waveguides, and has written about 130 research papers and three books on these subjects. He is a member of IAMP and secretary of the IUPAP commission for mathematical physics. Marta Sanz-Solé is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Barcelona. She received her PhD there in 1978. Her research interests lie in probability theory, in particular in stochastic analysis – stochastic partial differential equations, analysis on theWiener space, and Malliavin calculus, and she has been active in the creation of a research group in stochastic analysis in Barcelona. She has been a visiting professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, Université d’Angers, Clermont-Ferrand II, Messina, among others. From 1993 to 1996 she was Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics, and from 2000 to 2003 Vice- President of the Division of Sciences, at the University of Barcelona. She has been a member of the EMS Executive Committee since 1997, and was organisational secretary of 3ecm, the Third European Congress of Mathematics, in Barcelona in 2000. Mina Teicher is Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at Bar-Ilan University, Israel, specialising in algebraic geometry and topology, with applications to theoretical physics (shape of the universe), computer vision, and mathematical models in brain research. She is a world leader in braid techniques and fundamental groups. She obtained her PhD from Tel-Aviv University and did postdoctoral studies in Princeton. She has received many awards and grants, including the prestigious Batsheva de Rothschild award, Excellency Center of the Israel National Academy of Sciences, and a European Commission funded network which was rated first (out of 430) in all fields of science and the humanities. She has been Chair of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Bar-Ilan University, Director of the Emmy Noether Research Institute for Mathematics, and a member of the Israeli Council for Higher Education, the National Forum for Brain Research, the Israeli National Forum ‘Academia-Industry’ and the council of the Wolf Foundation, and Advisor for the German Science Foundation, the European Union and the Italian Science Foundation. She is Vice-president for Research at Bar-Ilan University and has created bilateral programmes between Bar-Ilan and leading centres in Germany, Italy, Poland and India. EMS NEWS EMS June 2003 5
