Project Support 2016

Nepal Algebra Project (NAP) to support courses at Tribhuvan University, Nepal

The Nepal Algebra Project (NAP) has a span of six years starting with the summer of 2016, ending with the summer of 2021. Each of the six years one course of 50 hours will be offered at Tribhuvan University, Nepal by several lecturers from developed countries. The course will last 10 weeks (five hours each week) starting the second week of May, ending by the end July. It will be divided into five modules, each of two weeks. Every module is taught different lecturers.

In 2016 CDC supported the course on "Fields and Galois Theory" at the Master level at Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal with funds CDC received from the Abel Board Grant for 2016. The project was partially supported by the Abel Board.

MARM Support 2016

Together with the London Mathematical Society, IMU-CDC supports the continuation of the Mentoring African Research in Mathematics (MARM). The program links African academics with their UK and European counterparts via professional mentoring partnerships.  In doing so, MARM provides the means and opportunities for African mathematicians to develop international working relationships while also improving the quality of academic provision within their home institution. Each partnership has collaboratively defined its own objectives and priorities specific to the needs of the African institution, as well as its own targeted methods of accomplishing these. In 2016 the project received its second payment for its activities undertaken in 2016. They have included: Exchange visits, lectures, seminars and workshop series at African institution, joint PhD supervision, mentoring and support for African postgraduate students with respect to wider academic and life skills, mentoring African early careers staff in research and other skills and developing of research contacts and networking.The funding for this grant came from the 2016 Abel Board Grant to IMU.
