International Mathematical Union
The International Mathematical Union (IMU) is a global organization that promotes international cooperation in mathematics. Founded in 1952, it aims to support and enhance mathematical research and education worldwide. The IMU organizes conferences, publishes research, and fosters collaboration among mathematicians from different countries.
One of the key activities of the IMU is the organization of the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM), which is held every four years. The IMU also awards prestigious prizes, such as the Fields Medal, to recognize outstanding achievements in mathematics. Through these efforts, the IMU plays a vital role in advancing the field of mathematics globally.
