The research group of the Rényi Institute, Anna Christ Miranda, Adrián Csiszárik, Gergely Becsó and Dániel Varga, was invited to the world's most prestigious artificial intelligence conference. During their research, they discovered that language models do not store isolated facts, but capture the relationships of the world along interconnected conceptual patterns - their paper on this was presented a few hours ago.

Hogyan lett az eredetileg alkalmazott matematikára létrehozott intézetből világhírű elméleti matematikusokat foglalkoztató kutatóhely a Rényi? Milyen munkát végeztek az egykori neves matematikusok - Rényi Alfréd, Erdős Pál, Hajnal András és mások -, hogy ilyen színvonalon folyhasson itt a kutatás? Pálfy Péter Pál kutatóprofesszor, az intézet egykori igazgatója volt a Trend Fm és a Radiocafé vendége, a beszélgetés apropója természetesen a Rényi Intézet alapításának 75. évfordulója.

The HUN-REN Rényi Institute invites applications for a permanent (tenure) position as Research Mathematician. The primary criteria for evaluating applications are research excellence, publication quality, and international recognition. Additional considerations include a demonstrated ability to secure research funding, to lead a research group, and to contribute actively to a scientific organization, whether within mathematics in the strict sense or in interdisciplinary fields.

The HUN-REN Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics invites applications for a Rényi Postdoctoral Fellowship in mathematics. The appointment is for a two-year term, starting in September 2026.

Maryna Viazovska, a Ukrainian mathematician who became world-famous for solving the 8- and 24-dimensional sphere packing problem, received the Fejes Tóth László Medal yesterday. The Rényi Mathematical Research Institute intends to recognize an internationally significant mathematical work in the field of geometry with this award every year.

The list of winners of the National Research Excellence Program applications announced by the National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NKFIH) has been published. Researchers from the Rényi Institute received funding in four sub-programs.

The posthumous award was received by the son of Richárd Wiegandt yesterday at the opening ceremony of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences' Jubilee Science Celebration 2025 program series.

A compilation was made on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Rényi Institute in the program Felfedező — a tudomány világál. In the popular science magazine of Kossuth Radio, Péter Pálfy talked about the history of the institute, the world-famous Hungarian mathematics, and András Stipsicz talked about the significance of mathematics and Rényi's achievements.

The Rényi Institute is celebrating its 75th anniversary with a series of lectures. The ceremony on October 28 will take place in the main hall of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, featuring lectures by two mathematicians who have been awarded the Fields Medal, Wendelin Werner and Alessio Figalli. In the afternoon, the institute's current and former directors and leading researchers will present Rényi's past, its achievements, and discuss the challenges of the future.

The procedure, which András Gilyén, a mathematician at the Rényi Institute, wrote a paper about, could be a building block for the first practical applications of quantum computers. The article was recently published in the journal Nature.
