The Lie-Størmer Center in partnership with CIMPA
The Lie-Størmer Center and CIMPA are joining forces to offer an exceptional opportunity to young researchers in mathematics from developing countries! Located at the Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø, the Lie-Størmer Center is a newly established research center with a research focus on fundamental structures in pure and computational mathematics.
Programme details from September to October 2025:
- Part I: "Mathematical bases for Data, Coding and Cryptography".
- Online course led by Cordian Riener (UiT The Arctic University of Norway) with guest lecturers from partner institutions.
- Abstract : This course provides an introduction to the fundamental mathematical concepts underlying modern data processing, coding theory, and cryptography. Emphasizing both theoretical understanding and practical relevance, students will explore key ideas from number theory, algebra, and discrete mathematics as they apply to data representation, error-correcting codes, and secure communication. The course is designed to equip students with a solid mathematical foundation for further study or applications in data science, computer science, and information security.
- Live and recorded question and answer sessions.
- Part Two: Research activities at the Lie-Størmer Center (including a one week fall school)
- One month of group activities to delve deeper into the concepts covered online.
Financial Support:
The Lie-Størmer Center and CIMPA will support the online participation of around ten individuals, among whom 2 laureates will be selected to travel to Norway for a 1-month research stay.
This financial support will include:
- 200 euros for internet connection.
- Up to 1500 euros for airfare and visa.
- Accommodation for the entire stay is covered, and the laureate will receive 1000 euros for meals and miscellaneous expenses.
Admission Criteria:
- Young mathematicians (aged 36 or below, or having obtained their last university degree within the past 5 years) based in a developing country (IMU list).
