Regarding the meeting, an academic symposium with three lectures took place this Monday. One of these lectures was given by Louis Nirenberg, a Canadian mathematician who received the Abel Prize in 2015. Nirenberg is regarded -together with John F. Nash Jr.- as one of the greatest in 20th century mathematics.
