Annual Event

Lebanese
Mathematics Day

Saturday July 25, 2026
9 AM – 5 PM
American University of Beirut

Lebanese Mathematics Day is a standout academic gathering that brings together passionate mathematics students from across the country for a day of learning, connection, and inspiration. This initiative was started by students in the mathematics clubs at LU Hadath, AUB, and LAU.

It offers an exceptional opportunity for students to network with peers, engage with cutting-edge ideas, and gain exposure to mathematical research through interactions with researchers affiliated with some of the world's most prestigious universities.

Fostering mathematical curiosity, collaboration, and academic engagement across Lebanon's top universities.
