The Volunteer Lecturer Program (VLP) was established in 2008 by International Mathematical Union (IMU) and the U.S./IMU Adhering Body (USNCM). The initiation was inspired by the programs of the Centre International de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées (CIMPA) at the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP) in Cambodia, the London Mathematical Society's Mentoring African Research in Mathematics (MARM) program, and the Norwegian Program for Development, Research and Education (NUFU) with southern African universities.
The CDC is delighted to offer targeted funding programs to enable research and cooperation between mathematicians in developing countries and the rest of the world. In collaboration with IMU and various mathematical institutions and organizations, CDC provides tailored support to mathematicians with a selection of funding opportunities for graduates, PhD students, postdocs, and researchers.
Established in 2011 the CDC is a commission of the International Mathematical Union (IMU).
Under the Project Support Program the CDC supports capacity building projects and programs in mathematics and mathematics education, be they international, regional or local initiatives in developing countries. The CDC members evaluate and select the grant recipients. More information about the supported projects can be found on the right side of this page (sorted chronologically by year of support).
