Institute of Mathematical Sciences (ICMAT) Areas of research: Mathematics. Location: Madrid Webpage: www.icmat.es; Contact: europa@icmat.es
The Institute of Mathematical Sciences (ICMAT) is a joint research centre constituted by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and three Madrid universities: Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM), Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), and Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM). The agreement among these four entities creates synergies between the main mathematics departments in Madrid, which allows ICMAT members to benefit from the opportunities that each organization offers. The main objective of the ICMAT is to become a leading international research centre of excellence offering internationally recognized doctoral and post-doctoral training courses, as well as stimulating high quality mathematical, interdisciplinary research and collaboration. The ICMAT also organizes events of international standing and promotes dissemination activities. The ICMAT has been awarded with the Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence label twice and, in May 2016 it became a member of ERCOM (European Research Centres on Mathematics), the EMS (European Mathematical Society) Committee. The ICMAT conducts research in all branches of mathematics (https://www.icmat.es/ en/research/lines) with the support of 54 research staff, 26 postdocs, 50 PhD students and 18 administrative staff. Since its foundation in 2007, ICMAT researchers have been awarded ten ERC grants and 66 PhD theses have been defended. Furthermore, the Institute participates in the Master and PhD programmes of the three Madrid universities. Since September 2010, the ICMAT has organised 87 conferences and workshops, 25 schools, 13 thematic trimesters, 66 colloquia, 72 advanced courses and 829 seminars. Over 5,500 researchers have visited the ICMAT and around 1,000 visitors have been welcomed for stays, including renowned mathematicians such as S. Donaldson, C. Fefferman and N. Hitchin, who have a long-standing relationship with the Institute. Working at the ICMAT guarantees access to an infrastructure of the highest level for the pursuit of research in mathematics. In addition, the library “Jorge Juan” provides access to the largest catalogue of publications in mathematics in Spain, including electronic subscriptions. Access to several clusters for high-capacity scientific computing is also provided. ICMAT develops a Public Communication and Outreach Programme to reach 60 II.
