It is with great sadness that we report the passing away last week of Professor Mila Nikolova, Research Director at Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), and Microsoft Fellow, Simons Fellow, and long term participant (August to December 2017) on the recent INI programme on Variational Methods and Effective Algorithms for Imaging and Vision (VMV). Mila is known for her substantial contributions in optimisation, in particular the analysis of solutions to optimisation problems and application of optimisation techniques in image processing and inverse problems.

Since 20 November 2017, INI has played host to the art exhibition “Form in Art: Art of Form”. Run concurrently with the “Growth form and self-organisation” programme, it has aimed to “explore the relationship between form, as understood mathematically, and art” and features works from 10 leading contemporary artists.
At the exhibition’s launch event, and shortly before he returned to his native Sao Paulo, we interviewed one of the contributing artists: Manoel Veiga.
