November 10 and 11, 2023, IMPA, Rio de Janeiro.

The Professional Master's Program in Mathematics in the National Network – PROFMAT is a blended learning master's program in Mathematics offered nationwide. It is formed by a network of Higher Education Institutions, within the context of the Open University of Brazil/Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), and coordinated by the Brazilian Mathematical Society (SBM), with support from the National Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IMPA). PROFMAT emerged from an initiative induced by CAPES within the scientific community in the field of Mathematics, represented and coordinated by the SBM. To date, more than 6,000 students have already earned master's degrees through PROFMAT.

The event aims to bring together students and alumni of the PROFMAT program, faculty members of the program, and other members of the mathematics community for two days of activities at IMPA.

The objectives of the event are:

  • To value the academic and technological production of PROFMAT students and graduates;
  • to introduce new and relevant mathematical topics to these same students;
  • To bring together mathematicians who have been involved with PROFMAT from the beginning of this program to the present day.

Target audience: PROFMAT faculty and alumni; university professors who teach in the program; other mathematicians interested in PROFMAT and mathematical topics related to elementary education.
