National Higher School of Mathematics (Algeria)

The supported courses are part of an International Mathematics Master (IMM). The IMM is an initiative of the Abdu Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) for promoting high quality teaching of advanced mathematics in the whole world. The IMM consists of a two year Master program which is taught by teams of international visiting faculty in collaboration with local faculty (with whom research collaborations can also be explored). The following lecturers received support to teach a course in the IMM in 2026:

• Gaetan Borot (Germany) will teach from April 4-17, 2026 a course in « Algebraic Topology ». 
• Yacine Chitour ( France) will teach for two weeks between April and June 2026 a course in « Partial Differential Equations.
• Peter Stevenhagen (the Netherlands) will teach a course in « Number Theory »  for two weeks between April and June 2026.
• Fernandes Rui Loja (USA) will teach a course of « Riemannian geometry » for two weeks between April and June 2026.
