On the occasion of the 50 year long diplomatic relations between Germany and Israel, the project IMAGINARY Israel by the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (MFO) will be announced.
The project consists of two mathematics exhibitions for the general public and two workshops mainly for young mathematicians from Germany and Israel.

 

In particular, IMAGINARY will be helping to organise the first two IMAGINARY exhibitions in Israel, with the first one took place during the summer of 2015 at the Clore Garden of Science of the Davidson Institute of Science Education at the Weizmann Institute of Science until mid of December, and the second one at Bar-Ilan University from 24 Dec 2015 until end of January 2016. 

 

The exhibition is accompanied by a SURFER competition for Israel:
