Everyone is cordially invited to the First Annual Yulia’s Dream Virtual Conference on May 14-15, 2023!

Yulia’s Dream is a free remote mathematics enrichment and research program for exceptional high school students from Ukraine. It was established in March 2022 as an initiative under PRIMES (Program for Research in Mathematics, Engineering and Science for High School Students) at the Mathematics Department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Yulia’s Dream is dedicated to the memory of Yulia Zdanovska, a 21-year-old graduate of the National University of Kyiv, a winner of the 2017 European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad, and a teacher for the “Teach for Ukraine” program who was killed by a Russian-fired missile in her home city of Kharkiv. We hope to help other Ukrainian boys and girls fulfill her dream.

The conference program is appended below and can be viewed here: https://math.mit.edu/research/highschool/primes/YuliasDream/YD-2023.html

The conference will feature presentations of group research projects and expository talks by reading groups. It will conclude with a special session organized by the International Centre for Mathematics in Ukraine (ICMU), including a lecture by Prof. Maryna Viazovska, the 2022 Fields Medalist from Ukraine.
