The following are our main modes of support.

  • Financial support to individuals: We are able to partially fund a limited number of individuals to attend workshops and conferences worldwide. A condition for funding is that the applicant should be an active participant (presenter/speaker/poster presenter) at the meeting.
  • Funding for meetings: Organisers of mathematical meetings and events to be held in the Global South can apply for funding. Our funds can only be used to support participants from the Global South. In the past, we provided funding for events co-organised with CIMPA, by the African Women in Mathematics, and other organisations.
  • Reduced EMS membership: A special reduced fee of 5€ for mathematicians who reside in a developing country from this list was established by our Committee. More details on the advantages of membership can be found here.
