Iberoamerican Congress of Mathematics is a recurring scientific meeting that convenes mathematicians from Ibero‑American countries and associated international partners to discuss research, pedagogy, and collaboration across pure and applied fields. The Congress brings together scholars linked to institutions such as Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad de São Paulo, Universidad de Chile, Universidad Complutense de Madrid and organizations including the International Mathematical Union, American Mathematical Society, European Mathematical Society, Sociedad Matemática Mexicana and Rollo Davidson Trust. It fosters connections among researchers associated with prizes like the Fields Medal, Abel Prize, Wolf Prize, Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics, Leelavati Prize and honors from bodies such as the Royal Society, Academia Mexicana de Ciencias, Real Academia de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales and the Brazilian Academy of Sciences.
The origin of the Congress traces to initiatives by scholars affiliated with Instituto de Matemática Pura e Aplicada, Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología, Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, Universidad de la República (Uruguay), Universidad Central de Venezuela and regional groups inspired by meetings like International Congress of Mathematicians, Latin American Mathematics Olympiad, Centenary of José Echegaray, Symposium on Number Theory and the European Congress of Mathematics. Early proponents included mathematicians from André Weil’s circle, collaborators of Alexander Grothendieck, and figures associated with René Thom, Enrico Bombieri, Atle Selberg, Jean-Pierre Serre and national academies such as the Academy of Sciences of Lisbon and the Spanish National Research Council. Organizational milestones aligned with conferences hosted in capitals including Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Madrid, São Paulo and Santiago with participation reminiscent of delegations to the Caribbean Mathematical Congress, Pan American Games opening ceremonies and regional science forums connected to UNESCO and OEI.
Governance typically involves committees drawn from universities like Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and institutions such as CIMPA, UNESCO Regional Office for Latin America, Ibero‑American General Secretariat (SEGIB), FAPESP and national mathematical societies including Sociedad Matemática Española, Sociedade Brasileira de Matemática, Asociación Matemática Uruguaya and Mathematical Association of America affiliates. Scientific committees invite speakers from research centers like Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, Clay Mathematics Institute, Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, Instituto de Matemáticas (UNAM), Fields Institute and Perimeter Institute while administrative boards coordinate funding via agencies such as CONICET, CAPES, ANII and CONACYT. Election procedures echo statutes used by International Mathematical Union and European Research Council panels and adhere to ethical standards maintained by bodies like Committee on Publication Ethics.
Major editions have been held in cities with strong mathematical traditions: Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Santiago de Chile, Lima, Ciudad de México, Madrid, Barcelona, Lisbon, Porto, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Bogotá, Caracas and Quito. Venues frequently include faculties and institutes such as Facultad de Ciencias (UBA), Instituto de Matematica Pura e Aplicada (IMPA), Facultad de Ciencias Físicas y Matemáticas (Universidad de Chile), Museo Universitario (UNAM), Centro Cultural Universitario, Palacio de Congresos de Madrid and auditoria used by European Mathematical Society. Satellite events have been co‑located with meetings like the International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics, Symposium on Logic and Computer Science, Workshop on Algebraic Geometry, Conference on Partial Differential Equations and regional gatherings sponsored by Ibero‑American Science and Technology Program.
Programs span themes found in contemporary agendas: algebraic geometry, number theory, harmonic analysis, operator theory, topology, differential geometry, probability theory, stochastic processes, partial differential equations, mathematical physics, dynamical systems, computational mathematics, numerical analysis, optimization, operations research, mathematical biology, mathematical finance, cryptography, category theory, logic, combinatorics, graph theory and applied fields intersecting with institutes such as Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados, Institute for Advanced Study, Los Alamos National Laboratory, CERN, NASA, European Space Agency and IBM Research. Sessions include plenary lectures by scholars affiliated with Princeton University, Harvard University, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, ETH Zurich, University of California, Berkeley, Columbia University, New York University, University of Paris-Saclay and panel discussions involving editors of journals like Annals of Mathematics, Inventiones Mathematicae, Journal of the American Mathematical Society, Acta Mathematica and Mathematical Reviews.
The Congress confers and showcases regional recognitions modeled after international awards, often coordinating with national prizes such as the Premio Nacional de Ciencias y Artes (México), Prêmio Jabuti (for related outreach), Premio Anual de la Asociación Amigos del País and distinctions from academies like the Real Academia Española and the Royal Society of London. Young researcher prizes, lifetime achievement recognitions and best‑talk awards highlight work connected to laureates of Shaw Prize, Chern Medal, Coxeter–James Prize and fellowships such as Guggenheim Fellowship, Marie Skłodowska‑Curie Actions, Fulbright Program and national research grants from FONDECYT, SECYT, ANID and CONICET.
Participants represent Ibero‑American states alongside collaborating nations: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Spain, Uruguay and Venezuela with frequent delegations from United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Japan, China, India, Australia and organizations like UNESCO and Ibero‑American General Secretariat (SEGIB). Institutional members include universities, national academies and societies such as Academia de Ciencias de América Latina and regional research networks like CLACSO.
The Congress has catalyzed collaborations resulting in publications in journals such as Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Proceedings of the Royal Society, Journal of Differential Geometry, Communications in Mathematical Physics, SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, and book series from Springer, Cambridge University Press, Elsevier and Birkhäuser. It has supported doctoral training linked to supervisors at École Normale Supérieure, Scuola Normale Superiore, University of Tokyo, Seoul National University and exchange programs with centers like IMPA, Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica and promoted networks that influenced research areas connected to figures such as Sofya Kovalevskaya, Niels Henrik Abel, Carl Friedrich Gauss, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Évariste Galois and contemporary leaders in topology, algebraic geometry and analysis. The Congress continues to strengthen ties between mathematical communities across continents, enhance visibility of Ibero‑American research in venues like the International Congress of Mathematicians and contribute to the mobility of scholars supported by grants from agencies including Horizon Europe and national science foundations.
