UMD 2026 is a conference that offers a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and foster collaborations with and within the Ukrainian mathematical community in Europe. It brings together early-career researchers and senior mathematicians, with a particular focus on mentoring younger Ukrainian students based in Europe, particularly in the Paris Region.

The first edition of the conference takes place on the 4th-5th of June 2026 at the Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris, Amphithéâtre Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat.

The theme covered by this edition is broad, reflecting the scientific expertise of Ukrainian mathematics. It has a particular focus on PDEs, SDEs, operator algebras, and machine learning.

We envision this event as the first meeting of a biennial series, where Ukrainian and Western European mathematicians showcase their collaborative work and strengthen the integration of the Ukrainian math community into the European research landscape.

Registration will open soon

The conference program will be available by April

Nadiia Derevianko (TU Munich, Germany), 
The detection of singularities using neural networks and its application to the solution of PDEs.

Svitlana Mayboroda (ETH Zurich, Switzerland)
The hidden structure of the disorder

Abstract: The geometry of the environment perceived by the human eye differs from the one that guides propagation of waves or formation of free boundaries. Already the relationship between the regularity of the coefficients of the equation, smoothness of the domain, and properties of the solutions is highly nontrivial. However, even more mysterious are effects which are not measurable in terms of regularity, such as disorder or mesoscopic phenomena. We will broadly concentrate on two subjects: localization of waves in disordered media and harmonic measure on rough sets.
