The Carl Herz Foundation

Created in 1997 in memory of Carl Herz, one of the founders of the Institut des sciences mathématiques, the Foundation is a non-profit organization mandated to fund ISM activities. All donations to the Foundation are tax-deductible. Since the Foundation is managed by the ISM, there are no administrative costs: all donations are used exclusively to fund the programs described below.

Priorities:

Accromath

Accromath is a mathematics magazine distributed free-of-charge to high schools and cegeps in Quebec. Its primary aim is to attract more young people to the mathematical sciences by giving them lively, relevant, topical material. A donation to the magazine will help ensure its future, and allow us to increase the number of copies printed so that we can respond to the increasing demand.

Carl Herz Prize

The Carl Herz Prize recognizes a research contribution to mathematics or statistics made by a doctoral student registered at one of the ISM member universities. Highlighting the achievements of our best students by offering them a prize early in their career is beneficial to the whole community.

Scholarships

In the long term, we would like to create new scholarships that could be entirely funded without spending the Foundation’s capital. If you would like more information, please contact us.
