INSTITUT DES SCIENCES MATHEMATIQUES

The Institut des sciences mathématiques (ISM) is a consortium of eight Québec universities (Concordia University, Laval University, McGill University, the Université de Montréal, UQAM, UQTR, Université de Sherbrooke and Bishop's University) for training and collaboration in the mathematical sciences. Its three main aims are to:

Enhance training and research by integrating member researchers into eleven inter-university scientific groups and hiring exceptional postdoctoral fellows.
Contribute to a top level graduate education by coordinating advanced Master's and Ph.D courses, encouraging excellence among graduate students and initiating gifted undergraduates to mathematical research through a variety of scholarships, and organizing seminars and conferences.
Promote and spread mathematical knowledge among teachers, young students and the general public by publishing and distributing the magazine Accromath, and by organizing conferences in cegeps.

The Institute is funded by Quebec's Ministère de l'Education, du Loisir et du Sport and by the eight member universities. Olivier Collin from UQAM is currently director of the Institute.
