The Emil Artin International Conference dedicated to the 120th anniversary of Emil Artin has taken place in Yerevan, Armenia from 27 May to 2 June, 2018. The conference has been very successful and attracted significant attention from well-known scientists in the field, including mathematicians from the United States, France, Italy, Russia, China, India, Poland, Norway, Iran, Canada, and Brazil.

The K-theory Foundation is a non-profit corporation that seeks to promote research and scholarship in the mathematics related to K-theory. It organizes a K-theory conference every 4 years, to coincide with the ICM. On this occasion, the K-theory conference was a 2 week event,  consisting of a School followed by a Workshop. The school took place at the University of La Plata, from  July 16 to July 20, and the workshop in the University of Buenos Aires, from July 23 to July 27.

The school took place in the Faculté des Sciences of the University of Kinshasa, Kinshasa, from May 7 to May 18, 2018. It gathered about 50 participants:
7 mathematicians from several countries (France, Italy, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, USA) who gave 40 hours of lectures on selected topics as well as exercise sessions,
8 young participants from neighbouring countries (Benin, Cameroon, Congo-Brazzaville, Ivory Coast, South Africa), master students or PhD students, in number theory or cryptography,

The International Workshop on Groups & Representations and Related topics (IWGRR) has been successfully held in Chongqing, China. More than 140 people from 7 different countries attended the conference and 52 talks were held during the 4 day program.

International Conference 20. Geometrical Seminar was held in Vrnjacka Banja. The organizer of this conference was the Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics University of Nis,Mathematical Faculty in Belgrade with Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in Kragujevac and Mathematical Institute SANU as co-organizers. Geometrical Seminar has brought together 101 participants from 19 countries around the world. The Geometric Seminar was attended by professors, associates and students from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in Niš.

The International Conference on Recent Trends in Graph Theory and Combinatorics was inaugurated by Prof. R. B. Bapat, ISI New Delhi, India. About 185 delegates were present in the inaugural ceremony. The conference consisted of 21 invited lectures, 14 oral paper presentations and 6 poster presentations.

The CIMPA School on Combinatorial Commutative Algebra was held at Department of Mathematics, COMSATS Institute of Information Technology(CIIT), Lahore Campus. A total of 78 researchers have participated in the event. In each morning session there used to be three lectures of one hour each while evening sessions were dedicated to tutorials and short presentations by the participants. Ten students have presented their research while many students had actively participated in the tutorial sessions.

The aim of the school was to give students and young researchers from the Central African subregion a training in algebraic topology and geometry, on topics that are the subject of current research. The Cameroonian participants came from different universities (Yaounde, but also Dschang, Maroua ...), foreign participants came mainly from the Republic of Congo. The courses focused on the foundations of algebraic topology, configuration spaces, opera theory, homology and cohomology, pre-algebra and information geometry.

The International Conference on Algebra, Discrete Mathematics and Applications was organized in the Department of Mathematics, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad. About 150 people, including resource persons from India, USA, France, Italy and delegates from all over India were present or this conference.

The conference consisted on five mini-courses directed at PhD students and faculty, six plenary talks and sixteen shorter talks. It was attended by sixty
participants from fifteen different countries.The meeting was organized by the Instituto de Matemática e Estatística da Universidade de São Paulo (IME-USP), the Instituto Nacional de Ciência e Tecnologia de Matemática (INCT-MAT) and the Centre International de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées (CIMPA).
