Since its creation in 2001, the "Chaire de la Vallée Poussin" is awarded every year to a world-renowned mathematician. It is held in the form of a series of lectures with international public. An inaugural lecture on the first day is followed by 3 more lectures, exploring the topic in some more depth.
The recipient of the de la Vallée Poussin Chair 2023 is Professor Kathryn Hess Bellwald, professor at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.
The general title of the lectures is: "Homotopical perspectives on algebra and geometry".
