Our project Uncovering the Axioms of Mathematics was awarded funding through the highly competitive Emerging Fields program to develop high-risk, high-gain ideas on the very foundations of mathematics.
In January 17 - April 28, 2028, the Isaac Newton Institute will host our program Infinity and the Foundations of Contemporary Mathematics featuring focus weeks, workshops and conferences. More information will follow shortly!
