The CDC webinars are an initiative of the IMU Committee for Developing Countries (CDC) aimed at connecting with mathematicians worldwide who share an interest in CDC's mission and work. These sessions serve as a platform to share information about CDC's programs, funding opportunities, and activities, providing participants with valuable insights into how they can engage with and benefit from CDC’s support. In addition to sharing practical information, the webinars foster a sense of connection between CDC and the broader mathematical community, particularly those in developing countries.
Currently, there are no webinars planned.
