IMPA Open House takes place on June 13th and September 20th.

Registration is now open for the second edition of IMPA Open Doors. This year, the event is scheduled to take place on June 13th and September 20th. Registration for the first date of the event is open until June 9th. IMPA's Director-General, Marcelo Viana, emphasizes that the program's objective is to bring the public closer to IMPA and provide visitors with the opportunity to get to know the institute located in Horto, within the Botanical Garden.

“By opening IMPA to visitors, we seek both to bring the institution closer to society as a whole, and to help awaken vocations and a taste for science among our children and young people. This experience has been very positive to date.”

Teachers, students from public and private schools, and anyone else interested in learning about the institute can participate in the meeting. The institute, in addition to being an international reference in the production of mathematics, plays a significant role in teacher training, the dissemination of science, and organizes the Brazilian Mathematics Olympiad for Public Schools (OBMEP) – the largest scientific competition in the country.

This year's program includes a welcome chat with Marcelo Viana; a lecture by researcher Carolina Araujo and project scientist Lucas Nissenbaum; a workshop from the IMPA Girls' Olympics program; a 3D exhibition; a documentary; a visit to the Maryam Mirzakhani exhibition, among other activities.

IMPA's Open Doors program accepts registrations from up to 40 people per institution, with a minimum of two registrations from professors/class leaders. Entry is free and only permitted upon registration.

The visit will take place in two shifts: morning (9am to 12pm) and afternoon (2pm to 5pm). To participate, those interested should fill out the form available at this link and indicate their preferred shift.
