Commission on Development and Exchanges
of The International Mathematical Union
The CDE is a nine-member commission focused on supporting mathematical activities in the developing world, including many countries that are not members of the IMU. It grants supplementary support to conferences in the developing world and research travel support for mathematicians working in the developing world. In the past a third piece of its work was carried out through the IMU EC in the support of major conferences that take place in the developing world.
One program applies to individuals in support of research visits by mathematicians based in developing and economically disadvantaged countries (by means of travel grants to partially cover the travel expenses); the other program gives partial support to conferences organized in developing and economically disadvantaged countries. The CDE's aims also include supporting research partnerships and in some cases longer term cooperations with regional centers.
Please use the on-line application form if possible. This facilitates circulation of your application to the members of the CDE and greatly diminishes response time.
