International Center for Pure and Applied Mathematics

The aim of the International Centre for Pure and Applied Mathematics ICPAM-CIMPA is to promote international cooperation in higher education and research in mathematics and their interactions, as well as related subjects, particularly computer science, for the benefit of developing countries. Our action concentrates at the places where mathematics emerges and develops, and where a research project is possible.

ICPAM-CIMPA is a UNESCO centre located in Nice, France, with financial support from the French Ministère de l’enseignement supérieur et de la recherche (France), the Université de Nice Sophia Antipolis (France), the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion (Spain) and UNESCO.

We organize research schools of about two weeks in developing countries. The purpose of these schools is to contribute to the research training of the new generation of mathematicians, women and men.

Once selected by the Scientific committee and the Governing board of ICPAM-CIMPA, research schools are organized locally with the help of ICPAM-CIMPA. ICPAM-CIMPA’s financial contribution is essentially for young mathematicians from neighbouring countries to be able to attend the research school. ICPAM-CIMPA can help with obtaining founds from other sources. Additional information can be found in the roadmap. You can also write to ICPAM-CIMPA.

Research schools call for projects begins on March 1st, 2010.

The deadline for a pre-proposal is June 15, 2010. The complete proposal is due October 1st, 2010.
