ICMAM Africa (International Community of Mathematicians from Africa) is an emerging research community established in 2026 to promote mathematical research, collaboration, and visibility across the African continent. The initiative arises following the successful organization of two editions of the ISAAC–ICMAM Conference of Analysis in Developing Countries, which demonstrated the strong interest and potential of young researchers in Africa to build a vibrant mathematical network.

It was the Chair of the Community, Prof. Zouhair Mouayn, and our Advisory Director, Prof. Duván Cardona, who initiated the discussion about creating this society to promote mathematics in Africa, with the support of ISAAC following the ISAAC Congress held in July 2025 in Astana, Kazakhstan. As a first step in this initiative, the ICMAM Africa Congress will be held every two years. In particular, the society will place special emphasis on fostering collaboration with ICMAM Latin America (International Community of Mathematicians from Latin America). 

ICMAM Africa will be driven by young mathematicians committed to creating an open platform where researchers from Africa can meet, exchange ideas, and connect with the international mathematical community. Through this initiative, African mathematicians will have opportunities to collaborate with international organizations such as International Society for Analysis, its Applications and Computation (ISAAC) and the research network ICMAM Latin America.

Our goal is to strengthen the presence and impact of African mathematical research worldwide by facilitating academic exchanges, organizing scientific meetings, and supporting new generations of researchers.
