Mathematical talent is universal; funding is not.
The next great mathematical breakthrough could come from anywhere—if talent is given the opportunity to thrive.
Help make a difference by supporting the next generation of mathematical talent through your donation to CDC programs supporting mathematics research and scholarships in developing countries.
In August 2009 the adhering organizations of the IMU decided to merge its two existing commissions working on projects for developing countries, the Commission on Development and Exchanges (CDE) and Developing Countries Strategy Group (DCSG) into the Commission for Developing Countries (CDC), which was to continue the expanding and successful work previously carried out by CDE and DSCG.
