The initiation of the Volunteer Lecturer Program 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 CIMPA school “Hyperplane Arrangements: Recent Advances and Open Problems” in Hanoi introduced a modern and very active area of mathematics to the audience in Vietnam and the region. The school is primarily oriented towards PhD students and young researchers. This CIMPA school and workshop brought together 60 participants, among which about 35-40 percent were from foreign countries.
Representation Theory is a central branch of modern mathematics that studies realizations of abstract non-linear structures using classical linear and/or combinatorial concrete structures like matrices, linear operators and quivers. It is a very active and dynamic area, both heavily influenced by important applications to algebra, combinatorics, geometry, topology, analysis, category theory, number theory, mathematical physics and other branches of mathematics and physics.
This school was the sixth "Encuentro Colombiano de Combinatoria (ECCO)” (Colombian Meeting on Combinatorics). Previous meetings took place in Bogotá (2003, 2008, 2012, and 2014), and in Medellín (2016). The main objective of the school was to bring young mathematicians from the region into close contact with international researchers and leading experts in various fields of combinatorics and its applications.
The Conference on Recent Advances in Applied Mathematics was held at Department of Mathematics, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, on February 20 – 22, 2019. The ICRAAM 2019 provided a platform for researchers and graduate students in South Asia to interact and network with expert mathematicians and was an opportunity for them to exchange research ideas with their peers. Since the conference covered a wide range of research areas, the ICRAAM 2019 attracted a huge interest from researchers from the neighboring developing countries.
The "Arithmétique, Calcul Scientifique et Applications" Laboratory (ACSA) of the sciences faculty of the Mohammad Premier University, Oujda, Morocco, recently organized its third International Congress named "Algebra, Number Theory and their Applications (ICANTA-2019)". This scientific event, held from 24 to 27 April, 2019 at the Oujda Knowledge Campus, was an opportunity for participants to present and discuss the latest novelties, publications and recent works in some fields of algebra and number theory.
The newly elected CDC 2019-2022 has held its first meeting on February 27-28, 2019, in Berlin, Germany in the premises of the IMU Secretariat. Key issues discussed included the Renovation of the Committees, and Revision and Prospect of the Programs. On February 28, the CDC met also with the IMU-EC 2019-2022.

The ICCGNFRT 2018 was held in Allahabad, India, from the 8th to the 11th October 2018. This was the second program round in the series `International conference on class groups of number fields and related topics' (ICCGNFRT). The previous conference was well supported and appreciated.The main purpose of this thematic conference was to bring various experts working on different aspects of the Class Groups at one place.
