The conference Topology Ecuador provided a meeting point for over 60 topologists from Latin America, North America and around the world. The scope was broad, ranging from homotopy theory to noncommutative geometry, with the goal of establishing collaborations and boundary crossings both geographically and between areas of expertise. The conference created an inviting atmosphere for informal interactions going beyond sharing mathematical work. The talk “Diversity and Inclusivity in Mathematics” by Moira Chas initiated discussions about the mathematical community and raised awareness.
This year's CIMPA Research School was focused on certain recent progress of mathematical analysis and numerical computations related to the partial differential equations, namely to material sciences for engineering science. It is very actual interest and concerns particularly the engineering faculties and students of the Mongolian Universities and overseas participants from Vietnam, Cambodia, South Korea, Pakistan, Austria and Philippines.
The main goal of the EMALCA (Escuelas de Matemáticas de América Latina y el Caribe ) Ecuador 2017 was to serve as a stepping stone towards strengthening the topology community in the Latin American region and as a springboard for the community of Ecuadorian mathematicians working in the areas of algebra, topology and geometry.
The third SDEA was dedicated to Centenary of Noether's Theorem. This conference intended to concentrate on most of the recent advances in the applications of Lie groups including a wide area of topics in interdisciplinary studies in theoretical and applied sciences. The aim was to bring together academicians and researches from all over the World.
The main concept of ICMAA 2016 was to work on the theme of a particular branch of Mathematics called Mathematical Analysis and its Applications. The main objective of the conference was to bring experts working on these problems from various academic Institutions in the world together so that they can interact with the young researchers working in India and to exchange the ideas. The conference acted as a platform to inculcate research interests among young minds on recent topics of research in Mathematical Analysis.
The Congress Dr. Antonia Monteiro is held every two years, and each time has the theme in a different area of mathematics: algebra, analysis, logic, geometry, applied mathematics, probability and statistics. The 14th edition was dedicated to the area of Logic. The main objective of the meetings was to promote the participation of mathematicians, not necessarily specialists in the chosen subject, from Argentina and from neighboring to encourage interaction between them.
Since 2016, the AMMSI-Phillip Griffiths Prize is awarded annually to an African mathematician, living in Africa, who has made outstanding contribution to mathematics, application of mathematics or promotion of mathematics, as evidenced by research and impact of the work. In 2017, the AMMSI-Phillip Griffiths Prize has been awarded to Professor Philibert Nang.
The following conferences were selected in 2014 for a conference grant.
