The CRM is strongly committed to fostering and enhancing research throughout the country. Each research programme held at the CRM spawn new collaborations among researchers from different backgrounds and levels of expertise during the lectures, seminars and informal interaction, which the CRM building has been designed specifically to encourage. One of the core roles of the CRM is the organisation of international research programmes on selected topics in the field of mathematics, mathematical sciences and all its applications. The CRM hosts every year a number of notorious researchers from all around the world to interact with local researchers over extended periods. The CRM belongs to the CERCA Agency of research centres sponsored by the Catalan Government, and is a member of ERCOM (European Research Centres in Mathematics), a committee of the European Mathematical Society. Women in MathematicsĪddressing issues relating to the involvement, retention and progression of women in mathematics, and supporting and promoting the recognition of the achievements of women mathematicians.The Centre de Recerca Matemàtica was established in 1984 by Professor Manuel Castellet as a centre of the l’ Institut d’Estudis Catalans (IEC, the Catalan Academy), in the premises of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). It is the oldest mathematics research institute in Spain. Presently, the CRM is a consortium between the Generalitat de Catalunya (the Catalan Government), the IEC and the UAB. Raising public awareness of the importance of mathematics for contemporary society in a cultural and historical perspective. PED's remit is to address issues relating to the publishing of scholarly mathematical literature, and access provision.
Publications and Electronic Dissemination
Offers advice to the Executive Committee in all questions related to meetings and summer school activities, proposals for EMS Weekends, as well as manage nominations for EMS Lecturers and EMS Distinguished Speakers. Undertaking actions to foster the development of mathematics in economically less-favoured regions within the geographical area of EMS membership. It will challenge unethical behaviour which includes, for example, plagiarism, duplicate publication, inadequate citations, inflated self-citations, dishonest refereeing, failing to address conflicts of interest or incorrect handling of submissions. The Ethics Committee focuses on promoting ethical behaviour in mathematical research, publication, and related matters. ERCOMĪ forum of Scientific Directors of European Research Centres in the Mathematical Sciences, to foster advanced research training. To report, and where appropriate to act, on educational issues that are, or should be, of concern to EMS members, while not replicating work that is the responsibility of national mathematics societies. Developing CountriesĪssisting developing countries to develop curricula, training, libraries, centres of excellence and information for PhD programmes. To foster interactions between Mathematics and other disciplines in Sciences, Technology, and Social Sciences and to promote the implications of all areas of Mathematics in this endeavour. EMS standing committees Applications and Interdisciplinary Relations
Represents the Society and carries out the wishes of Council. The European Science Foundation (ESF) and the European Mathematical Society (EMS), supported by the European Research Centres on Mathematics (ERCOM) have agreed to co-sponsor a series of Scientific Conferences, within the framework of the ESF Research Conferences Scheme. The normal practice is that membership of the committees of the European Mathematical Society is subject to the following rules:Įach member serves a four year term, with the possibility of one more term of four years.Įach committee chair serves a four year term, with the possibility of one more term of two years.Ĭases in which a member becomes a chair will be handled individually, with the intention that no one should serve more than eight years in total in whatever role.Įach committee member must be an individual member of the EMS and has paid the membership fees for the years, during which committee service takes place.
