Our mission

Juliusz P. Schauder Center for Nonlinear Studies was founded in 1991 at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. The center's mission is supporting mathematical research in the field of nonlinear analysis and its applications as well as intiating scientific relations between different research communities.

The current main activities are the following:

  • publishing a high class scientific journal TOPOLOGICAL METHODS IN NONLINEAR ANALYSIS,
  • awarding a J. P. Schauder medal for scientific achievements and contributios to nonlinear anaysis (including the appointment of a medal jury),
  • organizing lectures, conferences and scientific workshops devoted to nonlinear analysis in a wide sense,
  • publishing the LECTURE NOTES IN NONLINEAR ANALYSIS series,
  • supporting mathematically talented young people.


The center activities are supported by the Scientific Council appointed by Rector of Nicolaus Copernicus University for the time of three years.

6th edition of the J. P. Schauder Medal competition has been settled

The jury, appointed by the Scientific Council of the Juliusz P. Schauder Center for Nonlinear Studies at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland, conducted a thorough evaluation of the candidates and decided to award the 2026 Juliusz P. Schauder Medal to

Professor Henri Berestycki

from 

École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris, France

and University of Maryland, College Park, USA

for his outstanding achievements in the field of nonlinear analysis and its many applications in other branches of science.

The J. P. Schauder Center Authorities congratulate Professor Henri Berestycki warmly on this honorable distinction.

The prize awarding ceremony is planned to be held on July 6, 2027 during the IX Symposium on Nonlinear Analysis. Information about the event will be available soon.


XIV Forum on PDE in Będlewo

The Juliusz Schauder Center is pleased to announce the 14th Forum on PDE, of which it is a partner. The forum will take place at the Będlewo Conference Center in Poland on September 13–19, 2026. More details can be found on the event’s website.


Conference ETAMM'26

We are pleased to inform about the fourth edition of the international conference Emerging Trends in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (ETAMM), in which the Juliusz Schauder Center is a partner, that will be held from September 2nd to September 4th, 2026, at the Lodz University of Technology, Poland. Previous editions of ETAMM took place at Université de Perpignan Via Domitia, France (ETAMM 2016), the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland (ETAMM 2018), and at the Universidade da Coruña, A Coruña, Spain (ETAMM 2024).

This series of conferences brings together mathematicians, interdisciplinary scientists, and engineers from all over the world and focuses on new trends in the domains of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, and their applications in Physics, Engineering Sciences, Biology, and Economy.

EMS Prize for Jacek Jendrej and Adam Kanigowski

We are pleased to inform that two young Polish mathematicians, Professors Jacek Jendrej and Adam Kanigowski, have been awarded by the European Mathematical Society (EMS) during the IX European Congress of Mathematics held in Seville.
Both laureates are connected with the Juliusz Schauder Center and Toruń. Jacek Jendrej is a member of the Editorial Board of our journal TMNA and a recipient of the first J. P. Schauder Prize for young mathematicians. Adam Kanigowski completed his individual studies and wrote his master's thesis under supervision of prof. Wojciech Kryszewski at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, and he obtained his Ph.D. at the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IM PAN); his supervisor was Prof. Mariusz Lemańczyk.
Since 1992, the European Mathematical Society has been awarding prizes for outstanding contributions to mathematical research. These prizes can be awarded to scientists who were no older than 35 at the time nominations began a year earlier.
The EMS Prize was awarded to Jacek Jendrej for his work on the soliton resolution conjecture and the problem of two-soliton collision for certain types of wave maps. Jacek Jendrej is a graduate of the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics, and Mechanics at the University of Warsaw (MIMUW) and currently works at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and Université Sorbonne Paris Nord. His research interests focus on partial differential equations. He has published in numerous scientific journals, including "Analysis & PDE," "American Journal of Mathematics," "Duke Mathematical Journal," and "Inventiones Mathematicae." Among the awards Jacek Jendrej has received so far are the Prix Claude-Antoine Peccot, the aforementioned J. P. Schauder Prize, and the prestigious ERC Starting Grant.
By awarding Adam Kanigowski, the EMS recognized his outstanding contribution to the spectral classification and mixing properties of slowly chaotic dynamical systems. In his research, Adam Kanigowski deals with dynamical systems and ergodic theory, as well as the interaction of these fields with number theory, geometry, and probability theory.  He is a laureate of the Polish Mathematical Society Award for Young Mathematicians, the International Stefan Banach Prize, the Kazimierz Kuratowski Award, and the IM PAN Award for outstanding scientific achievements in mathematics.
