Grant Worth 4000 EUR within the Mathematics Conference Support Program from CDC

The Commissions for Developing Countries (CDC) is offering a Conference Support Program for people from developing countries. This program gives partial support to Mathematical Science based conferences organized in developing or economically disadvantaged countries. In a few cases the program also supports a few international conferences in developed countries in order to invite mathematicians from developing countries. 

About CDC:-

The Commissions for Developing Countries (CDC) is a commission of the International Mathematical Union (IMU) and was established in 2011. The CDC has the mandate to manage all IMU initiatives in support of mathematics in the developing world. Besides administering the Grants Programs for Mathematicians as well as the Volunteer Lecture Program, the CDC takes part in some other types of activities in accord with various aspects of its mission like: research, support of local initiatives, support of Educational and Local Capacity Building Programs, exploration of funding and grant opportunities of new and existing sponsors and development of proposals and joint activities with partner organizations.

• The funds must be used for travel and accommodation costs only. (For invited speakers or participants coming from developing countries).
• In case the funds are granted they are usually in the range of 1,000 EUR - 3,500 EUR.
• The cost of speakers coming from developed countries cannot be covered using the grant.
• The CDC cannot be expected to provide the main share of financial support; an overall conference budget has to be included with the application.
• This grant CANNOT support travel costs to attend workshops or conferences (for organizers only).

• The conference must be in a Mathematical Sciences field or a related one.
• The conference must address either a Regional or an International audience. They should benefit mathematicians from neighboring countries as well.
• The selection committee specifically considers only those conferences at a Research level and CANNOT support schools or activities which involve professional training.
• The conference must be based (place of work) in a developing country.
• In exceptional cases, conferences conducted by developed countries inviting mathematicians from developing or economically disadvantaged countries can be accepted.
