On September 2, 2023, PriRadio TV, led by Benjamín Losada Posada, featured a compelling interview (link to this interview here!) with the team behind ICMAM Latin America. The interview provided an in-depth look at the organization’s objectives and its pivotal role in advancing mathematical research in Latin America and the Caribbean.

ICMAM Latin America is an organisation founded in 2020 at the University of Valle in Cali, that has rapidly evolved into a beacon of hope for the mathematical community in the region. This organisation has several projects supported by the ISAAC, the Ghent Analysis and PDE Center, the Mexican Mathematical Society, the Colombian Mathematical Society, the Metropolitan Autonomous University of Mexico, the University of Valle, and other Latin American Societies.

During the interview, the organization’s directors, Duván Cardona, Brian Grajales, and the ICMAM board member Yuriko Pitones shed light on their commitment to fostering collaboration among mathematicians in Latin America and beyond.

Key highlights of the interview included:

1. Advancing Mathematical Research: ICMAM Latin America’s primary goal is to advance mathematical research in Latin America and the Caribbean. The organization accomplishes this through biennial conferences, research programs, and collaboration with renowned mathematical societies and institutions.
2. Global Reach: Dr. Cardona and Dr. Grajales shared how ICMAM Latin America has expanded from its origins in Cali to involve more than 50 mathematicians from around the world. This global perspective underscores the organization’s commitment to facilitating interaction between young, emerging researchers and established international mathematicians.
3. Gender Inclusivity: The interview emphasized ICMAM Latin America’s dedication to promoting gender inclusivity within the field of mathematics. The organization actively supports and highlights the work of women mathematicians in Latin America, addressing gender disparities in the mathematical community.

PriRadio TV’s coverage of ICMAM Latin America serves as a testament to the organization’s growing impact on mathematical research and collaboration in the region. The interview highlighted the vital role that ICMAM Latin America plays in bridging the gap between mathematicians in Latin America and their counterparts worldwide.
