The "International conference on Class Groups of Number Fields and related topics" was held in Allahabad, India during the period 16-19 October, 2019. The conference covered a wide range of topics related to algebraic number fields, which is an active area of research in number theory. A number of internationally renowned experts from these areas where hosted, who shared their research and expertise to the researchers from India and other neighboring countries like Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Sri Lanka.

The CNMAC was held at the Universidade Federal de Uberlandia, Minas Gerais, Brazil, during 16-20 September, 2019. The CNMAC is an annual congress organized by the Brazilian Society of Computational and Applied Mathematics (SBMAC), being the largest meeting about applied, computational and industrial mathematics in Brazil and in Latin America. The SBMAC has as its main purpose to promote the development and dissemination of computational and applied mathematics in Brazil.

NEW CALL OF THE BREAKOUT GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM OF THE IMU COMMISSION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES:

The 12th International Conference on Mathematics and Mathematics Education in Developing Countries (ICMMEDC 2019) was held at the at National University of Laos (NUOL), Dongdok Campus, Vientiane, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, during the period 1 - 3 November, 2019.

The CIMPA Research School: Syzygies, from Theory to Applications was held in Brazil during the period 4-13 November, 2019. During the research CIMPA Research School graduate students and young researchers had the opportunity to study some fundamental techniques and recent developments on syzygy based methods, including:
• applications to combinatorial and toric geometry,
• module of differentials,
• the Minimal Resolution Conjecture,
• regularity of powers of ideals,
• geometric properties of rational maps and geometric modeling.

The WAMS-Mathematics and their Interactions was held at the Nesin Mathematics Village in Izmir, Turkey during the period 27 October-3 November, 2019. The objective of this school was to offer a fairly complete offer of courses in the modeling field, ranging from theoretical approaches to concrete developments (modeling and numerical simulations). The implementation and development of numerical approximation methods requires, first and foremost, a good knowledge of mathematical equations (differential equations, partial differential equations), but also the phenomena they account for.

The CIMPA Research School "Approches algorithmiques et statistiques de l'apprentissage" was held at University of Antananarivo in Madagascar during the period 16-25 July, 2019. The aim of this CIMPA School was to familiarize graduate students and young researchers with the field of Machine Learning and to show its many connections to other areas, especially mathematics, computer science, probability and economics.

The London Mathematical Society, in association with the African Mathematics Millennium Science Initiative, has opened the sixth round of MARM program, partly funded by the IMU CDC. The call for prospective mentors will be open till 20th December 2019. Four mentoring partnerships are to be awarded by the MARM Board.  See full details and download an application form at https://www.lms.ac.uk/news-entry/08112019-1550/marm-partnership-grants-call-prospective-mentors

The Program provides modest support for emerging research groups, working in a developing country listed in Priority 1 or 2 of the IMU Definition, making it possible for them to fund their most talented students to study full-time and pursue a Master or PhD graduate degree in mathematics.

We invite applications from Teams consisting of a Principal Investigator plus his or her research group and an International Partner by March 15, 2020.
