As part of its policy of training young mathematicians and in order to bring the basic sciences closer to the realities of development, the Mathematics Department of the University of Lomé and the International Center for Pure and Applied Mathematics (CIMPA) organized September 3 to 14, 2018 at the University of Lome, a Research School on the theme: "Lifetime Statistics and Spatial Statistics: Applications to therapeutic trials, industrial reliability, epidemiology and climate change".

The International Conference on Algebra and Related Topics 2018 (ICART 2018) was held at the Mohammed V University in Rabat and gathered more than 180 participants from 30 nationalities. The event envisaged several joint PhD projects are envisaged and involved students with researchers from USA, Spain and France. It was followed by a two-days excursion to Marrakech City.

This CIMPA School on control, inverse problems and geometry was held in Hammamet and featured 7 courses and seven lectures. The courses presented an opportunity for training in various fields like control and stabilization, inverse problems, Carleman inequalities, micro-local analysis and geometry. The different lectures were given in connections with these subjects.

The 7th International Conference for Harmonic Analysis and Approximations (HAA, VII) was dedicated to the 90th anniversary of Alexandr Talalyan and held in Tsaghkadzor.

The conference was held at Birzeit University and gathered 41 attendees around various fields of mathematics, such as statistics, game theory, analytic combinatorics, probability, differential or difference equations. Through the talks mathematical and statistical research were motivated and encouraged. Bachelor and Master Students got to see new topics in Applied Mathematics and Statistics when applied to real life to solve problems in industrial economics and science.

The SEAMS (SOUTH EAST ASIAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY) School on Dynamical Systems and Bifurcation Analysis was organized by the School of Mathematical Sciences, 

This CIMPA Research School was conducted by the Romanovsky Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan in Tashkent. The topics of the research school included various aspects of the theory of non-associative algebras, their representation theories and applications, including Lie algebras, Leibniz algebras, Jordan algebras and other classes of algebras and superalgebras.

The main purpose of EMALCA (La Escuela de Matemática de América Latina y del Caribe) is, in addition to promoting the interrelation of Central American students and professors,

CIMPA Research School "Geometric and Homological Methods in the Representation Theory of Associative Algebras and Their Applications " which was held at the Maison Marie Pouseppin during 18-27 June. Also these three universities, organized the “3rd Internacional Colloquim on Representations of Algebras and Its Applications; Alexander Zabadskij” which was held at the Maison Marie Pouseppin during June 27 – 29. Both events was held 2018 in the city of Medellín.

The CIMPA Research School on "Commutative Algebra with Applications to Statistics and Coding Theory" took place in Zacatecas, Mexico and was attended by a total of 41 students from 12 different countries. The program was made up of 6 lectures for the main courses, 7 invited talks, 5 contributed talks and a variety of social activities. The students participated in daily sessions of tutorials with the lecturers and the local, and scientific community.
