First Announcement:

The cycle of conferences “Diderot Mathematical Forum” was introduced by the European Mathematical Society (EMS, http://www.euro-math-soc.eu/) in 1996. Each conference takes place simultaneously in three European cities exchanging information by telecommunication, addresses a specific topic, and has both a research and a public component. So far, there have been five Diderot Mathematical Forums: Mathematics and finance (London, Moscow, Zürich, 1996), Mathematics and environment: Problems related to water (Amsterdam, Madrid, Venice, 1997), Mathematics as a force of cultural evolution (Berlin, Florence, Krakow, 1998), Mathematics and music (Lisbon, Paris, Vienna, 1999), Mathematics and telecommunications (Eindhoven, Helsinki, Lausanne, 2001). As this year, 2013, is the international year of Mathematics of planet Earth (MPE2013, http://mpe2013.org/), the Committee for Raising the Public Awareness of Mathematics of the EMS intiated the renewal of the cycle for 2013, with the topic Mathematics of planet Earth. This Diderot mathematical forum will thus present one of the final MPE2013 activities. Professors Mireille ChaleyatMaurel (UFR Mathématique et Informatique, Université Paris Descartes, Paris) and Franka Miriam Brueckler (Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Zagreb) have been chosen as coordinators of the event.

The conference is to be held on December 17th 2013 in Berlin (Germany), Exeter (United Kingdom) and Zagreb (Croatia). The sites of the conference will be:
