Dear colleagues,
This year the great Hungarian mathematician László Lovász will be receiving the Helmholz Medal of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BBAW). This is the highest distinction that the BBAW awards, every two years, and in the past it has been awarded to personalities like Jürgen Habermas, Noam Chomsky or Roger Penrose.
The award of the Helmholz Medal takes place during the Leibniztag of the BBAW on Saturday June 13 starting at 10:00 at the Konzerthaus. An invitation to the Leibniztag is attached and here is a link to the registration for this event:

On the occasion of this very special visit of Lovász, the Humboldt University and MATH+ are organising the first
Frobenius Colloquium on Thursday 11.06 at 16:00 hrs.
It will take place in the Fritz-Reuter-Saal in the Dorotheenstraße 24, just behind the main building of the HU and we will have the following talk:
László Lovász: Submodularity: Finite and Infinite
I would like to cordially invite you to this talk.
Concerning the speaker: László Lovász has been one of the defining personalities of discrete mathematics, combinatorics and theoretical informatics during the last half a century or so. He was awarded the Abel Prize (2021), the Wolf Prize and many other prizes. He was the President of the International Mathematical Union and that of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
Concerning the event: The Frobenius Colloquium is a new high visibility event that will take place in Berlin once a year. It honors Georg Ferdinand Frobenius, prominent professor at the University of Berlin and one of the central mathematicians at the turn of the 20th century. Frobenius is the creator of representation theory and his work in many field of mathematics remains as modern and influential as ever, for instance in concepts like Frobenius morphism, or Frobenius manifold.
I hope to see you on Thursday 11.06 at the first Frobenius Colloquium!
Best regards,
Gavril Farkas.
