The CIMPA Research School "Geometric and Homological Methods in the Representation Theory of Associative Algebras and Their Applications " 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 were held in 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 as well as scientific community.

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 whole event was an official ICM2018 Satellite event.

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:

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.

The International Conference 20. Geometrical Seminar was held in Vrnjacka Banja. The organizers of this conference was the Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics University of Nis,the Mathematical Faculty in Belgrade with the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in Kragujevac and the Mathematical Institute SANU, as co-organizers. The 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.
