The International Mathematical Olympiad will be held in Budapest in 2027. The guest of the program "Closer to Mathematics" - on Trend Fm and Radiocafé - was Dávid Kunszenti-Kovács, who is working on the preparation of the IMO with the team of the Rényi Institute.

Érintő - Elektronikus Matematikai Lapok was launched in 2016, published by the Bolyai János Mathematical Society, in collaboration with the Rényi Institute. Vera Oláh and Péter Simon gave interviews to Trend Fm and Radiocafé about the spirit of the online journal.

The prestigious event in the world of mathematics, the Jarník Lecture, will be held at Charles University on September 30. This time, the lecturer will be Gergely Harcos, research professor at the Rényi Institute.

The program begins at 9 a.m. on September 29 in the Grand Hall of the Rényi Institute.

Hungarian combinatorics is strong and internationally renowned, which is why a record number of researchers came to Budapest for the Eurocomb'25 conference at the end of August. This provided the opportunity for a radio interview — on Trend FM and Radiocafé — with Balázs Patkós, a researcher at the Rényi Institute.

On September 26, at the Researchers' Night, our researchers will be presenting three lectures. The titles are: "Life-course analysis with artificial intelligence", "Stable marriages and admissions scores", and "Proving Pál Erdős' conjecture by bringing together different scientific fields".

András Némethi is one of the world's leading scientists in singularity theory. He was born and educated in Transylvania, worked in America for a decade and a half, and joined the Rényi Institute in 2004. It is thanks to him that algebraic geometry became known in Hungary - he also spoke about this work in the program broadcast on Trend FM and Radiocafé.

The goal of the program is for researchers to introduce discovery teaching methods to teachers and work together to ensure that mathematics teachers apply them in their teaching.

The European Research Council (ERC) has announced the list of winners of this year's Starting Grants. András Gilyén is the 13th researcher to win an ERC grant from the Rényi Institute.

In 1993, University Eötvös Loránd (ELTE, Budapest) awarded an honorary doctoral degree to the eighty-year-old world-famous mathematician, Paul Erdős, and asked him to give a talk on “The Actual Problems of Mathematics” for a general audience (that is, not just for mathematicians) in the university’s largest auditorium, completely filled with about 500 people.
