I am Mateo Carmona, former Coordinator and current Archivist of the Centro di Studi Grothendieckiani (CSG).
My research focuses on the study of Grothendieck's legacy, with particular emphasis on its historical and archival dimensions.
Other interests include scientific dissemination and project management.
Academic events and scholarly activities involving international participation, including conferences, lectures, workshops, and institutional meetings.

« L'association de Marcel Légaut avec le groupe Bourbaki, renommé pour son impact significatif sur les mathématiques du 20ème siècle, notamment à travers des figures telles que A. Weil et H. Cartan, revêt une importance historique pertinente. De 1955 à 1957, notamment, Bourbaki a organisé ses congrès à Sallières-les-Bains, près de Die, dans la Drôme. On pense que Légaut, familier avec le lieu, a joué un rôle dans l'introduction de Cartan au lieu. L'assistance de Grothendieck aux congrès de 1956 et 1957 revêt un intérêt particulier. Grothendieck, largement considéré comme le mathématicien le plus influent du 20ème siècle, a connu une pause significative dans ses recherches mathématiques au cours de l'année 1957, qu'il a qualifiée d'« appel et infidélité », et qu'il a considérée comme un appel spirituel non exaucé. Bien que Grothendieck ait finalement repris ses recherches jusqu'en 1970, ces interludes ont été formateurs dans son parcours personnel et son inspiration littéraire. Cette présentation vise à explorer les interactions de Légaut avec le groupe Bourbaki, notamment dans les années 1950, le rôle joué par la Drôme et les premiers signes de convergence entre les missions de Grothendieck et de Légaut. »
International colloquium dedicated to the centenary of the Légaut Group and the study of Marcel Légaut’s intellectual and historical legacy, held at the Archives départementales de la Drôme in Valence.

« Les mathématiques comme expérience artistique » was an international colloquium held on 11 July 2025 at the Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris, in the Amphithéâtre Charles Hermite. The event was organized by the Istituto Grothendieck, in collaboration with the Institut Henri Poincaré and the Laboratoire MICS of CentraleSupélec (Université Paris-Saclay). The programme brought together Charles Alunni, Olivia Caramello, Mateo Carmona, and Francesco La Mantia, and addressed the relationships between mathematical thought, language, visual representation, aesthetics, and artistic experience.
The colloquium was accompanied by the exhibition Cartes, chemins et paysages rêvés, by Dominique Lepetz, a former student of Alexander Grothendieck, presented at the IHP from 10 to 25 July 2025. The exhibition comprised works inspired by Grothendieck’s work and explored themes including the fecundity of art and science, the superposition of models, and homotopy in maps. The programme also included a round-table discussion on mathematics and art, as well as the presentation of reproductions of manuscripts from the Grothendieck Fonds of the Bibliothèque nationale de France.

« Homage to Alexander Grothendieck » was a commemorative conference organized by the Istituto Grothendieck on 16 November 2024, marking the tenth anniversary of Alexander Grothendieck’s death. Held online from 14:00 to 18:00 CET, the event brought together contributions addressing Grothendieck’s mathematical, philosophical, and cultural legacy. The programme featured an introduction by Olivia Caramello, a lectio magistralis by Fernando Zalamea entitled Alexander Grothendieck. Deepness and Softness. Ideas, Techniques, Methods, and the presentation of the website of the Centre for Grothendieckian Studies by Mateo Carmona.
The second part of the conference consisted of a series of interviews conducted by Olivia Caramello with Christian Escriva, Dominique Lepetz, Jean Malgoire, and Marc Tettiravou, who had known Grothendieck personally. The conversations explored their memories of Grothendieck and his intellectual heritage. The interviews were conducted in French, with simultaneous translation available in several languages. The event was subsequently documented through audiovisual recordings made available by the Istituto Grothendieck.

« Visions en mathématiques : de Grothendieck à nos jours » was a conference organized by the Istituto Grothendieck and held on 14 June 2023 at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris, in the Amphithéâtre Hermite. The event brought together mathematicians, researchers, and scholars to examine Alexander Grothendieck’s mathematical legacy and its continuing influence on contemporary mathematics. The programme included contributions by Alain Connes, Laurent Lafforgue, Olivia Caramello, and other participants, addressing mathematical, philosophical, and interdisciplinary perspectives on Grothendieck’s work.
The event also featured a presentation of the Centre d’études grothendieckiennes by Mateo Carmona, followed by a round-table discussion moderated by Stéphane Dugowson. The programme included contributions concerning topos theory, mathematical logic, homotopy theory, and philosophical approaches to Grothendieck’s mathematics. The conference was held in collaboration with the Institut Henri Poincaré, and its audiovisual recordings were subsequently made available through the Istituto Grothendieck’s online video archive.
