IMPA Open House takes place on September 20th.

Registration is now open for another IMPA Open House. The second edition of this year's event is scheduled for September 20th. Registration is open until the 15th of the same month.

“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,” said the Director-General of IMPA, Marcelo Viana.

The first IMPA Open House of the year took place on June 13th and brought together 239 visitors. Teachers, students from public and private schools, and others interested in learning about the institute, which is not only an international reference in the production of mathematics but also 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 – can participate.
