The 8th European Congress of Mathematicians will be held in Portorož (Slovenia) in 2020 .
In addition to the plenary lectures and the lectures by the invited speakers, since 2016 there has been a lecture by one of the Abel Prize winners (Abel Lecture, 2016 Endre Szemerédi ), the Friedrich Hirzebruch Lecture (named after the first President of EMS Friedrich Hirzebruch ), for example in 2016 by Don Zagier held the Next Generation Outreach Lecture, which is aimed at high school students, and the Public Lecture (which is aimed at a larger audience).
