The I CLAMC–UMALCA Joint Meeting in Mathematics represents a landmark initiative in strengthening scientific collaboration between China and the regions of Latin America and the Caribbean. As a joint effort between the China–Latin America Mathematical Center (CLAMC) and the Mathematical Union of Latin America and the Caribbean (UMALCA), this meeting embodies a shared vision of fostering high-level mathematical exchange, promoting excellence, and building long-term institutional partnerships across continents.
This event plays a central role in creating a structured and sustainable framework for cooperation between the two regions. By bringing together leading researchers, early-career scientists, and students, the meeting provides a unique platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge research, with a particular focus on differential equations, geometry, and dynamical systems, areas that are both foundational and highly interconnected, and that have seen significant advances in recent years. These themes were carefully chosen to reflect common strengths and strategic interests shared by the mathematical communities in China and in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Beyond advancing research in these core areas, the meeting will actively encourage the development of joint projects, co-supervision of graduate students, and the establishment of long-term collaborative networks. It also aims to promote meaningful interactions between institutions, fostering scientific dialogue that transcends geographical boundaries.
In addition to its scientific scope, the I CLAMC–UMALCA Joint Meeting serves as a strategic instrument for international integration. It strengthens academic ties, enhances researcher mobility, and promotes a deeper mutual understanding of the mathematical ecosystems in both regions. In particular, it contributes to expanding opportunities for young researchers and supports capacity-building initiatives in developing countries.
Furthermore, this initiative reflects a long-term commitment to building a robust and dynamic partnership between CLAMC and UMALCA. By encouraging sustained interaction and fostering continuity in collaborative activities, the meeting helps consolidate a vibrant and interconnected mathematical community with global impact.
In this sense, the I CLAMC–UMALCA Joint Meeting in Mathematics stands as a pivotal step toward deepening cooperation, advancing mathematical knowledge, especially in differential equations, geometry, and dynamical systems, and reinforcing the role of mathematics as a universal language that connects cultures, institutions, and people worldwide.
