The CIMPA-ICTP research school “Lattices and applications to cryptography and coding theory" was organized by Saigon University (SGU) and University of Science (HCMUS, VNU-HCMC) at Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam. It was held at Saigon University during August 01 – 12,2016.
The aim of the conference was to bring together leading mathematicians and young researchers (graduate students), to discuss modern advances in the vast diversity of topics professor Borisenko contributed to. The primary goal of the event was to boost through the broad list of participants the development of geometry in Kharkiv region, Ukraine and some neighboring countries (Belarus, Poland, Serbia, Russia). As the secondary goal, the conference served as a platform that will gather together several generations of mathematicians for an intense scientific exchange and collaboration.
GeToPhyMa is a series of summer schools organized since 2011 by the research group Moroccan Area of Algebraic Topology (MAAT : http ://algtop.net). The school is essentially intended for students and young researchers in geometry, topology and mathematical physics. Researchers in other fields can take advantage of introductory courses and are cordially invited to join the school.

The opening ceremony took place on the main building of Kampus III USD including speeches given by the rector of Sanata Dharma University (Johanes Eka Priyatma, Ph.D) and the representative of the lecturers of the school (Prof. Ludwig Streit).
The International Conference of Applications of Mathematics to Non-linear Sciences (AMNS-2016) was successfully held in Kathmandu, Nepal from May 26 to 29 of 2016. In addition, a Mathematical Biology Workshop was organized on the first day of the conference. The conference drew more than 200 participants from 17 countries around the world. Among these participants, 87 of them also attended the Mathematical Biology Workshop.
The IMU has been very sensitive to the needs of mathematicians working in developing and economically disadvantaged countries. In order to consolidate the efforts of the IMU to help such mathematicians through its various agencies, it established the CDC in 2011, which is responsible for all IMU initiatives to help mathematicians from developing countries.
The CIMPA school (International Center for Pure and Applied Mathematics) took place between 2016-07-11 - 2016-07-21.
Previously intended for 18-22 January 2016, the workshop on polynomial systems and polynomial modelling was finally held from 23-27 May 2016 at the IUFIC (located at the Université Ouaga II, Burkina Faso). This deferment was caused by Ouagadougou terrorist attack on the 15th January 2016.
The African Mathematical School was co-organized at the University of Bamenda in Cameroon with the Pole of Research in Mathematics and their Application to Information Security PRMAIS (www.prmasi.org) from the 06 June to 17 June 2016.
