Schools in Parternship (organisation)

Presentation

CIMPA supports advanced mathematical schools in partnership with continental mathematical unions or committees :

• African Mathematical Union (AMU) for the  African Mathematical Schools (AMS) ;
• Unión de Matemática de América Latina y del Caribe (UMALCA) for the Escuelas de Matemática de América Latina y del Caribe (EMALCA) ;
• Southeast Asian Mathematical Society for the SEAMS Schools;
• Committee of the Asian-European Schools in Mathematics for the AESIM Schools.

These schools are usually of Master's or final Bachelor Degree level, and are intended for students living in countries where they stand and from neighboring countries. Host countries with priority 1,2 or 3 in the IMU-list of developing countries are particularly welcome. These schools can be used to reinforce a Masters course or as preparation for a CIMPA school.

Calls for proposals, dealing with these proposals and work with the organisers of these schools to improve projects are the responsibility of committees of the continental unions where CIMPA is often represented. The links to the pages for each call are given below.

Funding

Once the projects of schools are approved, CIMPA decides the financial support that will be provided to each school (generally between 3,000 and 8,000 euros, depending on the duration of the school, its location, etc.). 

Funding is subject to the rules set out in the document below, including

• At least 2/3 of CIMPA support needs to be used for travel and/or living expenses of mathematicians affiliated to the host country  or  neighboring developing countries (IMU-CDC list) .
• The rest of CIMPA support can be used exclusively for
  • the travel/accommodation/meals of lecturers affiliated to developing countries who will provide at least 6 hours of pedagogical activities (economy class travel and/or standard living expenses);
  • the accommodation/meals of any lecturer who will provide at least 6 hours of pedagogical activities;
  • coffee breaks, logistics or social event.
