============================
Eredoctoraat voor Rien Kaashoek
VU-hoogleraar wiskunde prof. M.A. Kaashoek, oud-voorzitter van het KWG,
krijgt op 27 mei 2014 een eredoctoraat van North West University,
Potchefstroom, Zuid-Afrika. Dit bevestigt de nauwe banden die Kaashoek heeft
met het wiskunde-instituut van deze universiteit waar een grote groep
werkzaam is in de functionaalanalyse en operator theorie, Kaashoek’s
onderzoeksgebieden. Twee promovendi van Kaashoek (Gilbert Groenewald en
Sanne ter Horst) zijn hier werkzaam en zijn VU-collega André Ran is er
buitengewoon hoogleraar.
Het Heidelberg Laureaat Forum
Van 21-26 september 2014 vindt het tweede Heidelberg Laureaat Forum plaats.
Dit forum biedt een unieke gelegenheid aan studenten, promovendi en postdocs
om kennis te maken en te discussieren met winnaars van de meest prestigieuze
prijzen in wiskunde en informatica: Fields, Abel en Turing Laureaten. Nadere
informatie: zie de rubriek 5. Vacatures.
