    Special Development Fund

    The Special Development Fund helps IMU to fulfill the important obligation of helping developing countries within the framework of mathematical research. The means of the Fund, which go unreduced to mathematicians from developing countries, are used primarily for travel grants to young mathematicians, to make it possible for them to participate in International Congresses of Mathematicians. The Executive Committee of IMU elects an international committee to distribute the grants.

    Means to the Special Development Fund come from donations. Donations can be sent, at any time and in any convertible currency, to the following account:

    World Directory of Mathematicians - 1998

    National Committees and Mathematical Societies were requested to prepare the list of mathematicians in their countries. Each mathematician should be the author of at least two papers published in journals whose articles are internationally reviewed . E-mail address and fax numbers should also be provided, when possible. The new issue of the World Directory of Mathematicians (11th Edition) will appear at the occasion of the International Congress of Mathematicians, 1998
