A PDE Journey with João Paulo Dias | 14 Feb 2025 | Ciências ULisboa
The Department of Mathematics organized the special event
A PDE Journey with João Paulo Dias
as a celebration of Professor João Paulo Dias’ 80th birthday.
The workshop took place on February 14, 2025, at FCUL, and brought together some collaborators, friends and colleagues of Prof. João Paulo Dias, as illustrated by the list of invited speakers, which includes some of his old and recent collaborators. More informations and ptotos of the event can be found at https://sites.google.com/view/80jpdias/home.
João Paulo Dias was a Full Professor of the Math Department of the FCUL for several decades. He is a Professor Emeritus of the University of Lisbon, since 2016.
Prof. J.P. Dias is the author of a large number of scientific publications in Partial Differential Equations and one of the main responsible for the international projection of the Portuguese research journal Portugaliae Mathematica, for which he was Chief Editor from 1996 to 2007. He had a pivotal role in introducing a modern approach to the study of Partial Differential Equations and their applications, creating a very productive school in the Department of Mathematics of the Faculty of Sciences. He has received many prizes in the course of his professional career. He is an effective member of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences since 2007 (formerly, a correspondent member since 1990).
Honouring Professor João Cosme Santos Guerreiro
On the occasion of the placement of a portrait of Professor Guerreiro in Amphitheater 3.2.14, as well as a poster about his life in the C3 atrium, a small commemorative session was held in this amphitheate on February 11th. Guerreiro’s portrait joins the 23 portraits already existing in Amphitheater 3.2.14, of professors from our school who marked the history of the Faculty of Sciences in the 20th century.
Small interventions were made by our colleagues and former students of Professor Guerreiro, Luis Saraiva, Jorge Nuno Silva, Dinis Pestana and Luis Sanchez, and by his son João Cosme. A small cocktail party offered by the Ludus Association took place afterword. Some photos of the event can be found at https://photos.app.goo.gl/XjjZW3hZmjzkeaKY7.
Pedro Miguel Campos, a 4th year PhD student in Mathematics, was ellected as a member of the EMYA (EMS Young Academy), for 2025-2028
Pedro Miguel Campos, a 4th year PhD student in Mathematics, was accepted as a member of the EMYA (EMS Young Academy), for 2025-2028.
The European Mathematical Society (EMS) ellects every year 30 new members among at least 3rd year PhD students up to 5 years after PhD, for its Young Academy, for a period of 4 years. The deadline for applications for these new memberships was July 31, 2024, when Pedro Campos was finishing his 3rd year of the PhD.
Pedro, congratulations for the award.

Professor José Francisco Rodrigues was elected President of the Academia das Ciências de Lisboa (Lisbon Academy of Sciences)
Our colleague José Francisco Rodrigues was elected on 19/12/2024 as the President of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences, for a two-year term, whose duties begin in January 2025. Our congratulations and best wishes for a very successful mandate!
José Francisco Rodrigues will also be the President of the Science Class and Fernando Ferreira will be the Vice-Secretary of the Science Class. Many congratulations to both of our colleagues of the Math Department.
Mathematicians of CIÊNCIAS in the Academy of Sciences of Lisbon
Founded in 1779, the Academy of Sciences of Lisbon (ACL) has maintained uninterrupted activities promoting, disseminating and sharing knowledge in the sciences and humanities. Along the years, members of the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Statistics and Operational Research have kept a strong presence in ACL. Professor José Francisco Rodrigues (Vice Secretary General and Secretary of the Sciences Class of ACL) and Professor Fernando Ferreira are currently permanent members of the 1st Section (Mathematics) of the Class of Sciences of ACL, as well as Professor Emeritus João Paulo Dias and Professor Emerita Maria Ivette Gomes. Professor Pedro Miguel Duarte is correspondent member of the section. Professor Luís Gouveia is correspondent member of the 8th Section (Information Sciences and Technology) of the Class of Sciences of ACL. Professor Jorge Buescu and (retired) Professor Luís Saraiva are correspondent members of the 9th Section (Technologies, Knowledge and Society) of the Class of Sciences of ACL.
Important and remarkable figures of twentieth-century mathematics in Portugal, former professors of mathematics at Faculty of Sciences, were members of ACL. We mention Fernando Dias Agudo, António Almeida e Costa, Pedro José da Cunha, José Joaquim Dionísio, José Vicente Gonçalves, Vítor Hugo Lemos, José Tiago de Oliveira e José Sebastião e Silva.
The continued presence at the Academy of Sciences of Lisbon of mathematicians of CIÊNCIAS honours the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Statistics and Operational Research and points towards a path of distinction and excellence that the department wants to maintain and to deepen.
Summer Internships in Mathematics
The 1st edition of the Summer Internships in Mathematics, “Estágios de Verão em Matemática” (EVM), organized by the Department of Mathematics came to an end on July 26, 2024.
The event took place over two weeks at DM and was welcomed with great enthusiasm by interns, mentors, speakers and the general public.
Open to undergraduate students, the EVM included interns from FCUL - DM and DF - and Universidade Nova de Lisboa. The program consisted of work carried out by the interns in the form of a small mathematical project developed with the guidance of tutors (PhD students and Master's students of DM), daily scientific seminars or workshops, and ended with a “golden key”: the individual presentation of the research projects. work of the interns, on 07/26 in the afternoon.
Given the success of the event, the 2nd edition of the EVM is already promised for the summer of 2025.
