IMC (conference)
IMC (conference) is an international scholarly conference that convenes researchers, practitioners, and policymakers across multiple domains to present research, disseminate findings, and foster collaboration. The conference has attracted participants from prominent universities, research institutes, and professional societies including Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, University of Cambridge, Harvard University, Princeton University, University of Oxford, California Institute of Technology, ETH Zurich, National University of Singapore, Tsinghua University, Peking University, University of Tokyo, University of Melbourne, McGill University, University of Toronto, London School of Economics, Imperial College London, Yale University, Columbia University, University of Chicago, University of California, Berkeley, University of California, Los Angeles, University of Washington, Technical University of Munich, University of Paris (Sorbonne), Seoul National University, Karolinska Institutet, University of Copenhagen, University of Amsterdam, École Polytechnique, Brown University, Duke University, Johns Hopkins University, University of Michigan, Northwestern University, Cornell University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow, Ruhr University Bochum, University of Zurich, Monash University, University of Hong Kong, Indian Institute of Science, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, RWTH Aachen University, KU Leuven, Aalto University, National Taiwan University, University of São Paulo, University of Buenos Aires, University of Cape Town.
IMC (conference) traces its origins to mid-20th century meetings among researchers associated with Royal Society, National Academy of Sciences (United States), Académie des Sciences, Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, European Research Council, NATO Science for Peace and Security, World Health Organization, OECD, and major foundations such as Gates Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation. Early convocations drew contributors from institutions like Bell Labs, IBM Research, AT&T, Siemens, Philips, General Electric, and national laboratories including Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and Brookhaven National Laboratory. Over decades the conference evolved through influences from landmark events such as the International Congress of Mathematicians, World Economic Forum, Davos Conference, United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, and COP summits, resulting in an internationalized governance model engaging European Space Agency, NASA, CERN, World Bank, and leading learned societies like American Mathematical Society, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Association for Computing Machinery, Royal Statistical Society, and British Computer Society.
The conference aims to provide a multidisciplinary forum linking research from mathematics, computer science, statistics, engineering, economics, medicine, environmental science, political science, sociology, philosophy, and law as they intersect with applied domains represented by organizations such as WHO, UNESCO, ILO, International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organization, European Commission, African Union, ASEAN, G20, and national ministries. IMC emphasizes translational work that informs policy and industry practices, engaging stakeholders from Microsoft Research, Google Research, Facebook (Meta) Research, Amazon Web Services, Apple Inc., SAP SE, Siemens AG, Boeing, Airbus, Toyota Motor Corporation, Ford Motor Company, Pfizer, Moderna, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, Roche, and major consultancies like McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, and Deloitte.
Governance of the conference rests with an international steering committee drawing representatives from universities, research councils, and professional societies such as Royal Society, National Academy of Sciences (United States), Academia Sinica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Russian Academy of Sciences, Max Planck Society, Fraunhofer Society, CNRS, CSIC, Italian National Research Council, Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Japan Science and Technology Agency, and leading NGOs. Administrative functions are overseen by regional chapters modeled after IEEE Society structures and partner conferences including SIGGRAPH, NeurIPS, ICML, CHI, ICLR, KDD, ACL, EMNLP, AAAI, ICSE, FAccT, and ISWC. Financial stewardship involves trustees drawn from philanthropic entities, corporate sponsors, and research funders such as Wellcome Trust, European Research Council, Horizon Europe, National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, UK Research and Innovation, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, and private foundations.
Annual meetings rotate among global host cities, historically held in locations like Paris, London, Berlin, Zurich, Geneva, Rome, Madrid, Barcelona, Vienna, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Helsinki, Reykjavík, Lisbon, Prague, Budapest, Warsaw, Moscow, Istanbul, Athens, Marrakesh, Cairo, Cape Town, Nairobi, Johannesburg, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila, Kuala Lumpur, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Mexico City, Santiago, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Bogotá, Lima, Havana, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, and Dallas.
Proceedings have included seminal works that later influenced initiatives at CERN, NASA, ESA, WHO, UNICEF, World Food Programme, World Bank, IMF, Bank for International Settlements, European Central Bank, and major technology transfers to firms like Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, ARM Holdings, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Broadcom, Oracle Corporation, SAP SE, Siemens AG, Bayer AG, Johnson & Johnson, and Merck & Co.. Key presentations often feature recipients of awards such as the Nobel Prize in Physics, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, Turing Award, Fields Medal, Abel Prize, Wolf Prize, Lasker Award, Breakthrough Prize, MacArthur Fellowship, Borlaug Award, and Templeton Prize.
Membership comprises individual researchers, institutional delegations, corporate partners, and NGO representatives from bodies like Amnesty International, Greenpeace, Human Rights Watch, Doctors Without Borders, International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and Oxfam. Participation modes include paper submissions, posters, workshops, symposia, plenary sessions, and satellite events coordinated with conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, SIGMOD, SIGCOMM, SOSP, OSDI, ECAI, IJCAI, ICLR, CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, ICASSP, SPLASH, VLDB, IEEE INFOCOM, USENIX.
The conference confers prizes and fellowships recognizing best papers, early-career researchers, lifetime contributions, and interdisciplinary impact, modeled on honors like the Turing Award, Fields Medal, Abel Prize, Royal Society Fellowship, MacArthur Fellowship, Fulbright Program, Rhodes Scholarship, Marshall Scholarship, Guggenheim Fellowship, European Research Council Starting Grant, and national merit awards from agencies such as NSF, NIH, ERC, DFG, ANR, JSPS, FAPESP.
