9 February 2016, FGw Information meeting NWO Free Competition
NWO will soon open the call for the Vrije Competitie-grant ('Free competition'); the deadline for grant applications is (tentatively) scheduled for 1 April 2016. The grant team has scheduled an information meeting where members of the grant team will provide basic information on the grant and on setting the budget; we will invite a former laureate to talk about 'best practices' and a former comittee member to talk about his/her experiences reviewing grant applications.
Please send us an e-mail if you are planning to attend this meeting at subsidie-fgw at uva.nl. For more NWO-information on the Free Competition-grant, see http://www.nwo.nl/en/funding/our-funding-instruments/nwo/free-competition/gw/ (note that this information has not yet been brought up-to-date)

17 February 2016, Bèta Break
On 17 February the Bèta Break will honour a hero issued from the UvA history: L.E.J. Brouwer, one of the most outstanding mathematicians in the Netherlands.
Brouwers ideas were the basis for topology and his ideas about the foundation of mathematics diametrically opposed to those of his established contemporaries.This contrarian attitude not only touched the area of the logics; also in his daily life he revolted by living 'avant la lettre' as a hippy in a cabin in Blaricum, which was an artistic village at the time.
His life and the influence of his mathematical work until
today will be discussed with:
Prof. dr. Jan van Mill, topologist
Prof.dr. Dirk, van Dalen, biographer of Brouwer's life
Hans Ree, grandmaster in chess and columnist
Prof.dr. Wim Veldman, intuitionist
