In 30 January 2015, Professor Jean - Michel Rigo, Vice Rector of the University of Hassel (Belgium) had a short visit in the Institute of Mathematics (VAST).
Professor Le Tuan Hoa - Director of the Institute of Mathematics; Professor Nguyen Viet Dung - Deputy director of the Institute  of Mathematics; and Professor Ho Dang Phuc - Head of the Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized a meeting with Professor Jean - Michel Rigo.

At the meeting, the two sides shared information on organizing structure and scientific activities of the two institutions, and discussed on the possibility of cooperation in scientific researches and education.

Tại buổi làm việc, hai bên đã giới thiệu cho nhau về cơ cấu tổ chức và hoạt động khoa học của hai cơ quan, đồng thời thảo luận về khả năng hợp tác trong nghiên cứu khoa học và đào tạo.

Giáo sư Nguyễn Thanh Vân qua đời lúc 19:55, ngày 26/1/2015, hưởng thọ 72 tuổi  tại quê nhà Trà Vinh.

Những người làm Toán, đặc biệt là về Giải tích phức, ở Việt nam, hầu như ai cũng biết đến Nguyễn Thanh Vân. 

Ông sinh năm 1943. Lớn lên, Ông từ Sài Gòn sang Pháp du học tại ĐH Toulouse và sớm nổi lên như một ngôi sao. Ông làm luận án Tiến sĩ Toán tại Paris với giáo sư Michel Hervé và nhận bằng khi mới khoảng 25 tuổi. Ngay sau đó, Ông trở lại ĐH Toulouse và được tuyển làm giáo sư  khi mới 26 tuổi. Ông là người có công lớn để xây dựng nên Khoa Toán hùng mạnh của Đại học Toulouse hôm nay.

Ông cùng với F. Pham sáng lập chương trình ForMathVietnam Chương trình đã đóng góp rất lớn cho sự hợp tác toán học Pháp-Việt, đặc biệt là trong những năm 90 của thế kỷ trước, những năm khó khăn của Toán học Việt Nam khi xã hội bắt đầu chuyển sang “kinh tế thị trường”. Mỗi khi trở về Việt Nam, Ông thường xuyên tới thăm và làm việc với Viện Toán.

Vô cùng thương xót trước sự ra đi đột ngột của Ông, Viện Toán học xin chia buồn cùng gia quyến và đồng nghiệp, bạn bè của Ông.

CDC calls for applications for the following programs for mathematicians from developing and economically disadvantaged countries:

This grant cannot support travel cost to attend workshops or conferences.

http://www.mathunion.org/cdc/grants/simonstravelfellowship/

Applications have to be sent at least three months before the visit is starting. Applications are reviewed every four to six weeks.

2) Conference Support Program

This program gives partial support to conferences in the mathematical sciences The funds are for academic use only (travel or living expenses of invited speakers or participants coming from developing countries).

Conference organizers should apply at least four months in advance to the Grants Selection Committee of CDC but no later than three month in advance. Applications are reviewed every four to six weeks.

http://www.mathunion.org/cdc/grants/conference-support-program/

3) Abel Visiting Scholar Program

The Niels Henrik Abel Board and the International Mathematical Union invite applications from mathematicians professionally based in developing countries to visit an international research collaborator for a period of one month. The period is extendable for up to three months in the case of matching support from the host institution.

The program is designed for post doctoral mathematicians in the early stages of their professional careers. It is designed to offer the opportunity for a ‘research sabbatical,’ a necessary complement to teaching and other academic duties for mathematicians desiring to also sustain a viable research program.

The following deadlines apply:

•   April 30, 2015 for research visits between September 1 and  December 31, 2015

•   August 31, 2015 for research visits between January 1 and April 30, 2016. 

•   December 31, 2015 or research visits between April 1 and August 31, 2016

The “Postdoc International” POINT research fellowship program – co-financed by the German Excellence Initiative and the Marie Curie Program of the European Commission – provides funding for outstanding postdoctoral researchers from all disciplines to conduct their own research project at Freie Universität Berlin.

The POINT program was designed by Dahlem Research School at Freie Universität Berlin to promote the further academic career development through research funding, a tailored qualification program and the opportunity to develop teaching and leadership skills. It also provides essential professional guidance on preparing grant proposals to support POINT fellows in obtaining funding for follow-up research projects at Freie Universität Berlin.

Eligibility

Starting in November 2015, each research fellowship will be awarded for 18 months. The call is open to experienced researchers of all disciplines and all nationalities who:

• hold a doctoral degree (the dissertation must be submitted)
• completed their doctoral degree no longer than 6 years before the deadline
• have not resided in Germany for longer than 12 months during the last 36 months

Female postdoctoral researchers and returnees from phases of international, inter-sectoral and/or non-academic mobility (such as researching outside Germany, working for industry or a career break e.g. due to family reasons) are specifically encouraged to apply.

Applicants have to submit a project plan based around the research fields/ key topics of the participating Excellence Projects or Focus Areas.

Deadline for applications: 13 March 2015, 12:00 noon (Berlin local time)

Funding

• 18 months, starting November 2015
• Employment contract at level TV-L FU E13 (of approx. 26.600 to 34.200 Euro net salary p.a.)
• Social security and health insurance included
• A research allowance for the duration of the project of 10.800 Euro for non lab-based/ 16.200 Euro for field trip-based/ 21.600 Euro for lab-based projects
• A monthly mobility allowance of 200 Euro and a one-time travel allowance

Application

To apply, candidates need to register with the DRS online application platform on the DRS website. Once registered, they should fill out the online application form and upload all required documents. Incomplete applications and applications submitted after the deadline will not be considered.
