The Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM) has released its 2024 Annual Report, a comprehensive overview of the centre’s scientific output, institutional developments, training initiatives, and outreach activities over the past year. This edition carries particular significance, as it coincides with the 40th anniversary of the CRM, established in 1984 by Manuel Castellet as the first institute in Spain exclusively devoted to mathematical research.
The year 2024 has been pivotal for the CRM. The centre recorded over 120 scientific publications, expanded institutional ties, and renewed its affiliations with researchers from the UAB, UB and UPC. Additionally, the process has begun to formally include the University of Barcelona and the UPC on the CRM’s Board of Trustees, reinforcing the centre’s role within the Catalan university system.
Highlights of the year include a visit from Terence Tao, who delivered the CRM Annual Colloquium. The CRM has also continued to support early-career researchers through initiatives like the Hypatia Graduate School, BIMR, JISD and BAMB, while the SIJIMat seminar series has consolidated its role as a platform for junior researchers to exchange ideas.
In her foreword, CRM Director Carme Cascante underlines that “the talent, vision, and dedication that define the CRM remain strong,” and expresses her gratitude to everyone who helped make 2024 such a remarkable year.

Could the Sun–Jupiter–Saturn System Truly Exist? A Computer-Assisted Approach Sheds New Light on Celestial Stability
Mathematicians Jordi-Lluís Figueras and Alex Haro have taken a step toward validating a long-standing astronomical hypothesis: that the Sun–Jupiter–Saturn system could sustain stable, quasiperiodic motion indefinitely, even in the face of chaotic…

Mercuri i Venus: Les Danses Orbitals Sense Inclinació
L’article de Clarke i Guàrdia explora la raó per la qual els planetes interiors, com Mercuri i Venus, mantenen òrbites gairebé planes en comparació amb altres cossos celestes. Els investigadors han demostrat que l’estabilitat marginal dels sistemes planetaris només és…
Dos investigadors del CRM, reconeguts amb premis de la Societat Catalana de Matemàtiques i l’IEC
Els investigadors del Centre de Recerca Matemàtica Robert Cardona i Joaquim Duran han estat reconeguts amb dos guardons dels Premis Matemàtics IEC 2025. Cardona ha rebut el Premi IEC de Matemàtiques per la seva tesi sobre la geometria dels fluids…
New Mathematical Model Helps Improve Filtration of Competing Contaminants
Researchers from the CRM, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, and Universitat de Girona have developed a mathematical model to better understand how different air pollutants compete for space in filtration systems. Using a travelling wave…

The Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM) has named Professor Chenchang Zhu (University of Göttingen) as the first María de Maeztu Chair of Excellence, a position that recognises leading women mathematicians. Her appointment began on April 9, 2025, with a lecture on…
Eva Miranda Featured in Quanta Magazine
Eva Miranda, professor at the UPC and researcher at the CRM, is featured in Quanta Magazine. The article highlights how certain physical systems, such as fluid flows, can simulate computations so complex that predicting their behaviour becomes mathematically…
Exploring New Frontiers: Chronicle of the School on Homogenization and Fractional Calculus
On 24-25 March 2025, the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM) hosted the ‘School on New Frontiers in Homogenization and Fractional Calculus’ to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Γ-convergence. This mathematical technique was introduced by Ennio De Giorgi and Tullio…
Quillen i la Quimera de l’Homotopia Equivariant: Estratificant l’Inimaginable!
L’equip de l’estudi ha ampliat el teorema de Quillen per treballar amb espectres anellats equivariantment com a coeficients. També ha formulat una estratificació geomètrica en el llenguatge de la geometria tensorial-triangular equivariant. Els investigadors es van…
