Announcing the OneMath World School
A Global Initiative to Foster Mathematical Talent and Collaboration
BIRS is thrilled to announce the launch of the OneMath World School, a first-of-its-kind global program designed to connect young mathematical talent with leading experts in emerging fields.
This initiative brings together advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and early-career researchers from around the world to collaborate with established leaders and explore cutting-edge topics at the intersection of theory and application.
Program Overview
- The OneMath World School will host 100 early-career participants in 2026.
- Participants will take part in 4 week-long thematic schools held across 3 continents.
- Curriculum will blend research, communication, and cross-cultural exchange.
