The IMU Commission for Developing Countries (CDC) supports mathematics in developing countries through grants, capacity building and global partnerships
The IMU-CDC offers two distinguished programs designed to support research visits. These programs enable mathematicians based in developing countries to foster and sustain international collaborations by visiting esteemed research institutions worldwide. The two programs available are:
The following conferences were selected in 2015 for a conference grant.

Iranian mathematics Professor Maryam Mirzakhani, the first and to-date only female winner of the Fields Medal since its inception in 1936, died Friday, July 14. Her receipt of the Fields Medal three years ago ended a long wait for women in the mathematics community for the prize, first established in 1936.
The winner of the 2017 Ramanujan Prize for Young Mathematicians from Developing Countries is Eduardo Teixeira of the Federal University of Ceará, Brazil. The prize is in recognition of Teixeira's outstanding work in Analysis and Partial Differential Equations.
On June 2017 another CDC graduate scholarship program was launched, aimed at students listed as Priority 1 and 2 countries among the developing countries listed on the CDC website.
This conference was a part of sequence of Ramanujan Symposiums, 20th Ramanujan Symposium – International Conference on Fourier Analysis and Wavelets organized by Ramanujan Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics (RIASM), University of Madras, Chennai during March 21-25, 2017.
In this school, differential equations as modeling tools in engineering (fluid dynamics, traffic flow) and bio-chemical applications (coagulation, epidemics, batteries) were introduced and analytical properties of differential equations and their numerical solution discussed . A website and a drive were created to facilitate exchanges between students, lecturers and organizers https://sites.google.com/site/cimpalaos2017/
The IACR-SEAMS School "Cryptography: Foundations and New Directions" was organized by Vietnam Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics (VIASM) and the University of Science, Vietnam National University at Hanoi (VNU-HUS). It was held at VIASM from November 27 to December 04, 2016. This is the first joint school between International Association of Cryptology Research (IACR) and South East Asian Mathematical Society (SEAMS).
