WAMS-Mathematics and their Interactions, Turkey, 27 October-3 November, 2019

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.

CIMPA Research School 2019 - "Approches Algorithmiques et Statistiques de L'Aprentissage", Madagascar, 16-25 July, 2019

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.

Mentoring African Research in Mathematics (MARM)

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

New call of the IMU-CDC Graduate Assistantships in Developing Countries Program (GRAID)

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.

Revision of the IMU definition of Developing Countries

This October, the IMU Executive Committee endorsed the proposal made by the Commission for Developing Countries (CDC) regarding the definition of Developing Countries to be used by IMU during the next 4-year period. The list consists of all the countries classified by the World Bank (WB) in the categories: Low income (<USD 1.025), Lower middle income (USD 1.026 – 3.995), and Upper middle income (USD 3.996 – 12.375) in accordance with the WB Database by July 2019.

Algebraic and Geometrical Methods in String Theory, Argentina, 28 October-8 November, 2019

The conference “Algebraic and Geometrical Methods in String Theory” was held in Argentina during the period 28 October-8 November, 2019. The aim of this research school was to present a general mathematical background of relevance for the study of many subjects appearing in theoretical physics, in particular in string theory and, more broadly, in quantum field theory. This was done though a collection of courses explicitly covering the physical topics that these mathematical tools help to understand.

West Asia Mathematical School (WAMS), India, 29 August-3 September, 2019

The “West Asia Mathematical School (WAMS)” was held at the Indian Institute of Technology in Roorkee, India during the period 29 August-3 September, 2019. This was a school in applied mathematics for (introduction to) real life problems where participants discussed partial differential equations as modelling tools in several nowadays societal and technical issues, at postgraduate level. It covered modelling, analytical, numerical and simulation aspects.

Symposium on Biomathematics 2019, Indonesia, 25-28 August, 2019

The “Symposium on Biomathematics 2019” was held at the Riverview Hotel in Kuta, Bali, Indonesia during the period 25-28 August, 2019. The Symposium on Biomathematics (Symomath) is an annual multidisciplinary forum for promoting and fostering interactions between mathematical, biological, and related industrial communities in studying various phenomena in biology, ecology, infectious diseases, medicine, bioengineering, etc. The first symposium was successfully held in 2013 in Bandung. Symomath 2019 was the seventh year of the conference.
