About the Seminar
Seminario Matematico e Fisico di Milano
The Seminar's activities consist of conferences, workshops, lectures, and other activities aimed at fostering its mission.
These activities are carried out at the Seminar's sponsoring universities—Università degli Studi di Milano, Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca, Università degli Studi dell'Insubria, and Politecnico di Milano. The Seminar may also grant its patronage to scientific events at external venues when this is consistent with its institutional aims.
As of 2026, the Seminar has approximately 350 members.
Historically, the Seminar's conferences were published in the Rendiconti del Seminario Matematico e Fisico di Milano (1927–2000).
Since 2001, the Seminar's Rendiconti developed into the Milan Journal of Mathematics, a Birkhäuser publication. The journal publishes the Seminar's conferences, proceedings of meetings promoted by the Seminar, as well as original articles.
The organization and governance of the Seminar are defined in its articles of association. The current text is available for download.
