On June 23-27, 2025, the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Białystok hosted a scientific conference entitled “XIV School on Geometry and Physics.” Its main organizer was the Department of Mathematical Physics of the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Białystok, and the chair of the Organizing Committee was the dean of the faculty, Dr. Alina Dobrogowska, Prof. UwB. Dr. Tomasz Goliński served as scientific secretary, and the organizing team also included Dr. Aneta Sliżewska and Dr. Tomasz Czyżycki. The Organizing Committee was also supported by scientists from other centers, including Daniel Beltita (Bucharest), Gerald Goldin (New Brunswick), Piotr Kielanowski (Mexico), and Tudor Ratiu (Shanghai).

The conference was attended by 21 scholars from various countries, including Poland, Mexico, Taiwan, Chile, Hungary, Japan, the Czech Republic, and Estonia.

The invited lecturers included distinguished specialists:

• Francisco Correa Santander from the University of Santiago de Chile, Chile,
• Laszlo Feher from the University of Szeged, Hungary,
• Jean-Pierre Gazeau from the University of Białystok,
• Piotr Kielanowski from CINVESTAV, Mexico,
• Karen Strung from the Czech Academy of Sciences, Czech Republic.

In a series of three-hour lectures, they presented selected aspects of contemporary and broadly understood mathematical physics:

1. Geometric pathways: From integrable models to black hole physics.
2. Integrable Hamiltonian systems from reductions of doubles of compact Lie groups.
3. Quantum formalism in lower-dimensional real and complex Hilbert spaces.
4. Renormalization group.

The XIV School of Geometry and Physics was aimed at senior students of mathematics and physics, as well as young scientists. Classes were held in the building of the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Białystok at ul. Ciołkowskiego 1M, and a gala dinner was organized for the participants.
