OVERVIEW
International Mathematical Union
Commission for Developing Countries
The International Mathematical Union (IMU) is a global non-governmental, non-profit scientific organization devoted to advancing mathematics and fostering collaboration among mathematicians worldwide. It brings together national mathematical societies and academies from around the world to support research, communication, and education in mathematics
Through its Commission for Developing Countries (CDC), the International Mathematical Union (IMU) supports initiatives that strengthen mathematical education and research worldwide. IMU has contributed to the International Mathematics Master (IMM) by funding academic activities, including volunteer lecturer visits to host countries such as Pakistan, and by sponsoring the involvement of international faculty members.
