The Lorentz Center expands its activities with a new, smaller facility dedicated to workshops for up to 25 participants: the Lorentz Center@Snellius. Activities in the new facility will begin in July 2012. Starting summer 2012, the Lorentz Center will thus run activities in parallel at two venues: the current Lorentz Center@Oort facility and the new Lorentz Center@Snellius facility, located across the street from each other in Leiden. Proposals for all Lorentz Center workshops may be submitted with the first coming submission deadline: 15 May 2012.

The Kloosterman chair 2012 is occupied by Prof. Anton Bovier, working at the Institut fuer Angewandte Mathematik in Bonn, Germany. Bovier's research area is probability, with strong connections with mathematical physics and mathematical biology. The Kloosterman lecture, entitled 'Branching brownian motion', will be held on Friday March 23, from 4-5 PM, in room 312 of the Snellius building.

Starting from September, the four Dutch mathematics clusters DIAMANT, NDNS, GQT and STAR will each be given 1 ME from NWO Exact Sciences, to be spent within a period of two years. This decision is based, among other things, on the judgment of an international evaluation committee which judged the level of research within the clusters as excellent and in one case even 'exemplary'. The Mathematical Institute participates in three of the four clusters. The continuation of the clusters has been one of the ambitions from the 'Masterplan Toekomst Wiskunde', presented to NWO in December 2008.
