I am responsible for several recent or coming Workshops and Conferences

• Every year I am (co-)chairing the conferences Winter School GEOMETRY AND PHYSICS , held in the Czech Republic, Srni. The next one will be on January 13-20, 2024.
• The last traditional conference Differential Geometry and its Applications was held in Hradec Králové, July 17-23, 2022 as a satellite of the ICM. The lectures can be nicely seen on Youtube. The DGA2025 will be organized at the Masaryk University in Brno.

Some of my recent talks, presentations etc.

• September 2022, Bergen, Norway
  I was among invited speakers at the conference Geo2Int (Workshop in Geometry and Geometric integration). My talk was devoted to the "nearly invariant Calculus" developed over years with Andreas Cap, see the slides.
• September 2021, ESI, Vienna
  I was among invited speakers at the activity Geometry for Higher Spin Gravity: Conformal Structures, PDEs, and Q-manifolds, My talk was Calculus on Symplectic Manifolds .
• August 2021, SCREAM Workshop, Ilawa
  I was giving an invited public talk (for mathematicians and biologists) at the opening workshop of the activity Symmetry, Curvature Reduction, and EquivAlence Methods My talk was The Geometry of Diffusion Tensor Imaging .
• October 6-12, 2019, Bedlewo, Poland
  I was among invited plenary speakers at the conference Dirac operators in differential geometry and global analysis (where I had a standard chalk talk)
• August 18-29, 2019, Wisla, Poland
  As invited lecturer I held a series of 10 hours of lectures on Tractor calculus (all standard chalk talks) at the Summer School at Wisla
• January 23, 2019, Potsdam
  I had a colloquial talk Calculus on symplectic manifolds at University in Potsdam
• October 8-12, 2018, Trieste
  I had an invited lecture on geometric control theory (standard chalk talk) at the conference Local and Nonlocal Geometry of PDEs and Integrability
• September 10-14, 2018, Roma
  I had an invited lecture Calculus on symplectic and conformal Fedosov manifolds at the INdAM workshop on Poisson Geometry and Higher Structures
• November 30 - December 2, 2017, Tomsk
  As an invited keynote speaker at the 2nd University Cities Forum – Leveraging University Vitality for Urban and Regional Development, I had the openning plenary presentation , another initial presentation of a programme block and a public lecture (nearly complete recording is here ) on the role and position of Mathematics in the STEM education.
• November 12-18, 2017, Warsaw
  As an invited speaker at the conference Symmetry and Geometric Structures, I had the talk Generality of the quaternionic contact structures .
• June 6-10, 2017, Tromso
  I had the openning plenary lecture "Remarks on curvature in sub-Riemannian geometry" within the programme of the conference Geometry and Algebra of PDEs , see the slides. I also had a miniconcert there, the link to the mp3 file is here .

Others

• May 30, 2023, Informal party and gathering at the department
  After my last director's report at the Department Assembly, I through a small party (as a "director farewell", but also as my postponed birthday party). In the beginning, I tried to perform about 20 minutes of mini-recital together with Giulio Lo Monaco, our recent graduate, at the piano.
  I tried to explain diverse emotions/reasons when introducing the individual pieces (Schubert, Eben, Martinu, Verdi). They are captured in the above recording, too, except the very first one, Schubert's Erlkoenig on the famous and emotional Goethe's poem. Here I mentioned, how much I felt as the worried child there, when going through the discussions preceding the dean's decision on the new director, but also how I was worried not to have behaved as the father when I was dealing with the fears of others, earlier during my term.
• September 25 - October 1, 2015
  I had two hours of invited lectures during the Australian Maths Society Meeting in Adelaide, see the slides . I also gave part of the Musical Recital after the Terence Tao's public lecture there. Together with the pianist Ray Booth of Adelaide, we performed pieces by Schumann and Curschmann in the first block, while Dvorak and Glinka appeared in the second block. Enjoy!
