Guests of Honour
Kari Hag
Kari Jorun Blakkisrud Hag, born on 4 April 1941, is a Norwegian mathematician known for her research in complex analysis on quasicircles and quasiconformal mappings, and for her efforts for gender equality in mathematics. She is a professor emerita of mathematics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Kari Hag studied at the Norwegian School of Education in Trondheim, completing a cand.mag. in 1963, and then at the University of Oslo, completing a cand.real. in 1967. She earned her doctorate in 1972 from the University of Michigan. After completing her doctorate, she joined the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH), which later became part of NTNU. She became a full professor at NTNU in 2001, and retired as a professor emerita in 2011.
Kari Hag received SINTEF's award for outstanding educational work in 1989. The background was her initiative and work for small group teaching in mathematics at the civil engineering degree at NTH, which contributed to a significant drop in the failure rate in the subject. In 2000, Kari Hag received NTNU’s gender equality award for her efforts to increase the interest of girls in science and mathematics. In 2018, she was elected as a knight in the Order of St. Olav.
Idun Reiten
Idun Reiten, born on 1 January 1942, is professor emerita in mathematics at NTNU, Trondheim. She is considered one of Norway's foremost mathematicians today. Her research area is representational theory for Artin Algebra, Commutative Algebra, Schemes and Homological Algebra. She studied mathematics at the University of Oslo and earned her doctorate at the University of Illinois in 1971. She became one of the first Norwegian women with a doctorate in mathematics. Reiten taught at the Norwegian Teachers College in Trondheim, where she became a professor in 1982, and later at NTNU. In 2011, she led the research team in algebra.
In 2007 Reiten was awarded the Möbius prize.
