INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR PURE AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS

CIMPA’s mission

To promote international cooperation for developing research in mathematics and its applications in higher education

to this end CIMPA organizes research schools and supports schools or networks in connection with continental mathematical societies

its actions are concentrated in locations where there is the will to further develop mathematics and where a research project is sustainable

a main endeavour is to maintain three equilibria: gender, geography and subject



CIMPA’s history

CIMPA is:

a non-profit organization created in 1978 by mathematicians, with offices in Nice, France

mainly funded by Ministere de l’enseignement superieur et de la recherche (France), the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis (France) , CNRS (France) and the laboratory of excellence CARMIN. More recently, it is also funded by Spain, Norway and the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland).

a category 2 centre of UNESCO since the 90’s



CIMPA’s organization

CIMPA is a category 2 UNESCO centre

Its General Assembly elects 6 individual members to the Governing Board, where there also permanent institutional members : UNESCO, French and Spanish Ministries, University of Nice

The Governing Board selects its 4 member Bureau.

CIMPA also has a Scientific Council and a Steering Council

The Director is appointed by the Governing Board. The Director selects a Management team: several Regional

Scientific Officers and an Officer in charge of Communication

Numbers

More than 220 Research Schools 100 participations in higher level education and research

networks (seminars, workshops and doctoral courses)

Countries Africa : 18

Asia : 12

South America and Caribbean : 13

Middle East : 8

More than 12 000 young mathematicians More than 2 250 speakers, 1 050 from Southern countries



Budget 2011

364 K€ 70% from MESR (France) 5% from Spain 3% from UNESCO 6% from CNRS 13% from CARMIN

Half of the budget for Africa (Sub-Saharan and Mediterranean)

paid from budget : one and a half full time secretaries not included in budget: salary of director, salary of the

person in charge of the web site and computers. all others (members of the Board, scientific coordinators,

members of councils, lecturers) are volunteers



CIMPA Research Schools

OUGADOUGOU - 2009




Open call every year

proposals for two-week schools come from everywhere some are encouraged by CIMPA members the Scientific Council analyzes, evaluates and make

recommendations the Steering Council select about 15 to 20 research school

projects

Schools are organized locally with scientific and administrative help from CIMPA, in a North-South-South format




Young participants from neighboring countries apply

Among the young accepted by the organizers and CIMPA, several receive full CIMPA financial support (at least 2/3 of CIMPA total support is for this purpose)

Lecturers and speakers are not paid. In most cases, they use their own funding for travel

CIMPA helps through letters, discussions with organizers, explanation to authorities, fund raising etc.




Average budget for a CRS: 40k€ CIMPA participation is about 12k€, mainly for young people from neighboring developing countries

A four-page Road Map helps from the very beginning to have a successful RS with exchanges, discussions and to insure an open future for participants

Each RS has two final reports. One from the main local organizers, the other from CIMPA representative.




Mathematics is a continuum from Fundamental to Applied, with application to other sciences.

The themes of the Schools can be anywhere on this continuum, or a combination (Mixed combined with interactions).

We have used the Classification by MathSciNet and Zentralblatt in collaboration with the Governing Board and the Management Team.

2012 : F=6 A=6 MI=5 2005

- 2011



2012



New initiatives

Short Mathematical Visits (with CARMIN)

Launched in 2011.Intended for young mathematicians (pre or post-doc) interested in visiting one of CARMIN’s centres with a possible extension to other institutions in member countries (France, Norway, Spain or Switzerland).

The application includes a precise program, a motivation letter and recommendations from confirmed mathematicians.

A scientific committee will select candidates for 2012.
