Royal Spanish Mathematical Society
The Royal Spanish Mathematical Society is a learned society promoting mathematics in Spain and internationally, linking mathematicians associated with Complutense University of Madrid, University of Barcelona, Autonomous University of Madrid, University of Valencia, Polytechnic University of Madrid, University of Seville, University of Granada, University of Zaragoza, University of Salamanca, University of Santiago de Compostela, University of Valladolid, University of Murcia, University of Málaga, University of Alicante, University of the Basque Country, University of Oviedo, University of La Laguna, University of Cantabria, University of Burgos, University of Extremadura, University of Navarra, University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia, University of Córdoba, University of Lleida, University of Jaén, University of León, University of Alcalá and research institutes like CSIC, Instituto de Matemáticas (IEM)],] Instituto de Ciencias Matemáticas (ICMAT), Centre for Mathematical Research (CRM). The Society interacts with European and global organizations such as European Mathematical Society, International Mathematical Union, Mathematical Association of America, London Mathematical Society, American Mathematical Society, Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung, Unione Matematica Italiana, Société Mathématique de France, Royal Society, Académie des sciences.
Founded in 1911 amid intellectual movements linked to Instituto-Escuela, Instituto Nacional de Ciencias y Artes, and figures active at Universidad Central (Spain), the Society developed through periods marked by the Spanish Civil War, the Francoist era, and the transition to democracy associated with the Spanish transition to democracy. Early presidents and contributors included mathematicians connected to University of Madrid, University of Barcelona, University of Zaragoza, and international exchanges with scholars from Cambridge University, University of Oxford, École Normale Supérieure, Sorbonne University, Göttingen University, University of Göttingen, ETH Zurich. Postwar reconstruction involved links with Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, rebuilding ties to International Congress of Mathematicians and participation in programs associated with European Research Council and Horizon Europe.
The Society is governed by an elected board with roles analogous to those at Royal Society, Académie des sciences, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft committees, and includes a President, Vice-Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer, and Councillors representing regions such as Catalonia, Andalusia, Madrid, Basque Country, Galicia, Valencia, Castilla y León, Aragón, Extremadura, Murcia, Canary Islands. Advisory and scientific committees coordinate with institutions like ICMAT, CSIC, Instituto de Matemáticas de la Universidad de Zaragoza, Instituto de Ciencias Matemáticas (ICMAT), and collaborate with funding bodies such as Ministry of Science (Spain), European Commission, National Science Foundation (United States), Agence Nationale de la Recherche, Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
Programs include national conferences, thematic workshops, summer schools, and outreach initiatives linked to festivals such as European Researcher’s Night, and competitions like International Mathematical Olympiad, Spanish Mathematical Olympiad. The Society organizes lecture series connecting to Fields Medal laureates, colloquia featuring researchers from Princeton University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, Yale University, Columbia University, ETH Zurich, École Polytechnique, and runs training programs with centers such as Mathematical Sciences Research Institute and Centre for Advanced Study (CAS). Educational outreach partners include Royal Academy of Sciences (Spain), Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, CosmoCaixa, Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología, and collaborations with schools associated with OEI and UNESCO national commissions.
The Society publishes journals and bulletins comparable to titles from Springer Science+Business Media, Elsevier, Oxford University Press, and maintains scholarly periodicals, conference proceedings, and expository collections. Key serials and monographs engage authors from Cambridge University Press, American Mathematical Society, European Mathematical Society Publishing House, and host special issues featuring work related to conferences held at ICMAT, CRM, Mathematical Institute, Oxford, Institut Henri Poincaré, Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, Max Planck Institute for Mathematics. Publication ethics align with standards promoted by Committee on Publication Ethics and indexing involves databases like MathSciNet, Zentralblatt MATH, Scopus, Web of Science.
The Society administers national prizes and medals honoring contributions to research, education, and outreach, paralleling awards such as the Fields Medal, Abel Prize, Chern Medal Prize, Rolf Nevanlinna Prize, Shaw Prize, Wolf Prize, and national distinctions comparable to those from Real Academia Española, Real Academia de Ingeniería, and honors associated with Ministerio de Cultura y Deporte. It recognizes young investigators, lifetime achievement, pedagogy, and expository writing, and collaborates on prizes administered with Fundación BBVA, La Caixa Foundation, Fundación Ramón Areces, Fundación Telefónica.
Membership comprises professional mathematicians, educators, students, and institutions from universities and research centers including University of Barcelona, Complutense University of Madrid, Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Autonomous University of Barcelona, Basque Center for Applied Mathematics, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, Centro de Investigación Cooperativa en Biomateriales, and regional chapters across Andalusia, Catalonia, Madrid, Valencia, Galicia, Basque Country, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands. Membership categories mirror structures used by American Mathematical Society, London Mathematical Society, and include provisions for emeritus and honorary members linked to international academies like Royal Society, National Academy of Sciences (United States).
International engagement includes bilateral agreements and joint programs with European Mathematical Society, International Mathematical Union, American Mathematical Society, London Mathematical Society, Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung, Unione Matematica Italiana, Société Mathématique de France, Korea Mathematical Society, Indian Mathematical Society, Brazilian Mathematical Society, and participation in multinational networks funded by Horizon Europe, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, Erasmus+, and collaborations with institutions like IMS, IAS, Perimeter Institute, Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Outreach efforts extend to cultural institutions including Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Biblioteca Nacional de España, and media partnerships with outlets such as RTVE, El País, La Vanguardia, ABC (Spain).
