Michel Grabisch in Prague
This summer, Michel Grabisch visited Prague, where he gave a seminar at the Department of Applied Mathematics on “Projecting onto the set of balanced games.”
The talk included a brief overview of an efficient method to turn unstable cooperative games into their closest stable form. As the number of players grows, such stable solutions almost always become unique.
Agate — A Gate Opening
New Faces of Reality
Agate Unveils Its Visual Identity
Agate is proud to present its visual identity — complete with logo, colors, and a brand-new website.
The logo, shaped as a multi-sided dice, reflects both game theory and the multifaceted nature of our world. Each face symbolizes the many “faces of reality” — a wordplay that connects the sides of the dice with the many layers of life and society, captured in our slogan: Agate — A Gate Opening New Faces of Reality.
The visual identity and website were created by Helena Gráfová, responsible for Agate’s PR. We welcome your feedback and ideas — and hope you enjoy the new look of Agate.
