Institut Mittag-Leffler celebrating 90 years

Symposium, 9-10 November 2006

at Beijersalen, Kungl. Vetenskapskademien

Lilla Frescativägen 4, Stockholm

Institut Mittag-Leffler was established in 1916 by the testament of Professor Gösta Mittag-Leffler and his wife Signe.
They willed that their villa in Djursholm with its library and other parts of the estate should be given to a foundation,
whose purpose is to operate a research institute for the benefit of mathematics in the Nordic countries.
