The CIMPA Steering Council met on January 30 and 31 at the Technische Universität Berlin, Germany. This meeting, held in a hybrid format, brought together council members to discuss CIMPA's future directions and projects.

Among the highlights of these two days, the council selected the CIMPA Schools for 2026 and reviewed the activities conducted in 2024. Participants also had the opportunity to discover the MATH+ project.

We are delighted to introduce the new CIMPA Governing Board, which has just taken office for a four-year term. This new team, composed of international researchers and academics, will continue and expand CIMPA's initiatives over the next four years.

CIMPA and MATH+ are partnering to support young researchers from developing countries. As part of the Thematic Einstein Semesters (TES), for each selected semester, two laureates will come to Berlin for a one-month stay.

During their stay, they will benefit from mentoring support and will be able to develop their research project. 

This partnership, promoting inclusion and scientific excellence, will open its call for applications in 2025.
