  • SPANISH COOPERATION on MATHEMATICS 2013 Next Activities Are Reported by Mercedes Siles and Begoña Vitoriano, Secretary and Pres
    SPANISH COOPERATION ON MATHEMATICS 2013 Next activities are reported by Mercedes Siles and Begoña Vitoriano, secretary and president of the Commission for Development and Cooperation of the CE-MAT (Spanish Committee of Mathematics). We are sure that they are not all the Spanish cooperation developed in Mathematics with developing countries, but it can be seen a good approximation. As a general framework of cooperation, it should be remarked that Spain through the Ministerio of Economía y Competitividad is one of the supporters of CIMPA, and the different Spanish mathematical societies are member of CIMPA. LATINAMERICA 1) Spain-Central America One of the most ambitious processes in this region is a Central-American PhD programme on Mathematics. Putting together all their forces (PhDs in Panamá, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica and Dominican Republic) a common programme is being designed to be developed jointly. Several difficulties have to be solved because the different regulations of PhD studies in the different countries, but it looks that finally is going to be a reality, beginning in University of Panamá in 2014, with students and professors from different countries. It is expected that in 2015 it will begin also in El Salvador. Because the lack of enough PhDs in a country, they have designed a programme in which the students will take some courses in their original countries or other ones, but the thesis will be supervised by any of the professors included in the joint programme, depending on the speciality. Spanish professors are involved assisting to the design of the programme in different countries (Mercedes Siles in Panamá, Begoña Vitoriano, Javier Gallego and Juan Tejada in El Salvador…), adapted to the needs of each country.
