Sociedad Matemática Iberoamericana The Sociedad Matemática Iberoamericana is a regional learned society connecting mathematicians across Ibero-America, fostering collaboration among scholars in Spain, Portugal, and Latin America. It interfaces with major universities and institutes such as Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Universidade de São Paulo, Universidade do Porto, Universidad de Chile, and research centers including Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires, Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados and Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas. The society maintains relations with international bodies including the International Mathematical Union, European Mathematical Society, American Mathematical Society, and regional networks like Red Iberoamericana de Matemática.

History

Founded in the early 21st century, the society grew from initiatives linking participants of conferences such as the International Congress of Mathematicians, Congreso Latinoamericano de Matemáticas, Simposio de la Unión Matemática Argentina, Congreso Nacional de Matemática Pura y Aplicada, and workshops at Universidad de Barcelona, Universidad de Salamanca, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Early organizers included faculty associated with Instituto de Matemática Pura e Aplicada, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Academia Brasileira de Ciências, Instituto de Matemáticas UNAM, and alumni from École Normale Supérieure, Princeton University, University of Cambridge, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Harvard University, University of California, Berkeley, University of Chicago, Columbia University, Yale University, University of Oxford, University of Paris-Saclay, ETH Zurich, University of Bonn, Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, and Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. The society’s creation was influenced by past collaborations such as those between Andrés Nadir, Luis Caffarelli, Enrique González, and working groups from Instituto de Matemáticas (UNAM), IMPA, ICMAT.

Membership categories mirror structures used by International Mathematical Union affiliates and national societies such as Sociedad Matemática Mexicana and Consejo General de Colegios Oficiales de Ingenieros Técnicos Industriales de España: regular members, student members, institutional partners, and honorary fellows drawn from the ranks of professors at Universidad de Granada, Universidad de Sevilla, Universidad de Zaragoza, Universidad de Valencia, Universidad de Oviedo, Universidad de La Laguna, Universidad de Salamanca and researchers at IMPA, ICMAT, IMAS, CIMAT, CINVESTAV, UNAM. Governance uses an elected board comparable to governance at European Mathematical Society and American Mathematical Society, with committees for finance, publications, outreach, and ethics, and advisers from bodies like OEI and UNESCO.

Programs include collaborative research networks modeled after Horizon 2020 consortia, joint doctoral schools inspired by Mathematical Research Communities, exchange fellowships similar to those of Fulbright Program, and teaching initiatives akin to efforts by UNESCO and OEI. The society organizes summer schools patterned on CIMPA schools, workshops reflecting formats of Nordic Mathematical Meetings, problem-solving events akin to International Mathematical Olympiad training, and outreach in partnership with museums and institutes like Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos, and local chapters such as Real Sociedad Matemática Española student groups. Collaborative projects link with centers including Centro de Ciencias de Benasque Pedro Pascual, Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Banff International Research Station, Newton Institute, and national funding agencies such as ANII, FONDECYT, CONAHCYT.

The society sponsors recurring conferences comparable to Congreso Iberoamericano de Matemáticas, thematic meetings modeled on International Conference on Differential Equations, and joint symposia with European Congress of Mathematics, Pan-American Congress of Mathematics, and SIAM events. Publications include a peer-reviewed journal following editorial practices of Annals of Mathematics, Journal of the American Mathematical Society, Bulletin of the Brazilian Mathematical Society, and regional proceedings similar to Revista Matemática Iberoamericana, with editorial boards recruiting editors from Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad de Sevilla, IMPA, UNAM, USP, and University of Oxford. The society issues monograph series in the style of Lecture Notes in Mathematics and supports open-access repositories modeled on arXiv and SciELO.
