The Institute of Mathematics “Simion Stoilow” of the Romanian Academy (Bucharest) and the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Bucharest University, in cooperation with the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Ovidius University, Constanta, will organize the 22nd National School on Algebra, September 1-5, 2014, in Bucharest, Romania. The topic of the school is “Algebraic and Combinatorial Applications of Toric Ideals”.
The conference aims at introducing students and young researchers to new areas of research in the topic of the school. There will a be series of three one hour lectures given by Hara Charalambous, Jorge Ramirez-Alfonsin and Viviana Ene and several contributory talks. The afternoons will be free for research and open discussions among the participants.
For more information, including registration, see the website for the School.

Five mathematical organizations have joined to organize their First Joint International Meeting in Bilbao, Spain, from June 30 to July 4, 2014. They are: UMI (Italian Mathematical Union), SIMAI (Italian Society for Applied and Industrial Mathematics), RSME (Royal Spanish Mathematical Society), SCM (Catalan Mathematical Society), and SEMA (Spanish Society for Applied Mathematics). The joint meeting will include a Recent Developments in Commutative Algebra. The session is organized by:

• Caviglia Giulio (Purdue University, USA)
• Joan Elias (University of Barcelona, Spain)
• Philippe Gimenez (University of Valladolid, Spain)
