Aims
Ingenio MATHEMATICA (i-MATH) is a CONSOLIDER
singular research project for the period
2006-2011. It proposes a complete activity
research program for Spanish mathematics, with
the purpose of promoting and carrying out
strategic actions that, qualitatively and
quantitatively, increase the presence of Spanish
mathematics in the international system of
science, technology, business, etc. i-MATH is
an initiative promoted and financed by the
Spanish Ministry of Education and Science with a
budget of 7,500,000 . The official start of the
i-MATH project is the 3rd of October, 2006 and
the end is the 30th of April, 2012.

Aims

• To improve the role of mathematical research in
  the Spanish system of science, technology and
  innovation.
• To increase and promote the activities of
  transference of knowledge and technology of the
  Spanish mathematicians.
• To promote the use of computational methods both
  inside and outside mathematical research.
• To achieve greater recognition for Spanish
  research groups at an international level and to
  increase the presence of Spanish mathematicians
  in strategic areas.
• To create a Doctorate School of international
  status.
• To use research and innovation to improve
  education and mathematical training at all
  levels.
• To make the results of mathematical research more
  accessible both from within and from outside
  Mathematics.

Nodes
Node CIEM The International Centre of
Mathematical Meetings (CIEM) a joint initiative
of the University of Cantabria and the Castro
Urdiales Town Hall with the principal founding
purpose of promoting quality mathematical
research in its basic, applied and computational
aspects. Node CRM The Mathematical Research
Centre (CRM) is a consortium formed by the
Catalonia Generalitat and the Institut dEstudis
Catalans. The purpose of the CRM is to foment
mathematical research both qualitatively and
quantitatively. Node ICM Joint institute
between CSIC and three universities in Madrid
UAM, UCM and UC3M. Its purpose is to develop
high-level research. Node IMUB Institute
created in the Faculty of Mathematics of the
University of Barcelona. Coordinator node of the
Platform MATHEMATICA COMPUTING. Node CESGA
Composed of research teams in areas of the
National Applied Mathematics, Statistics and
Operations Research from the three Galician
universities coordinated by the CESGA. Increase
the presence of mathematical methods and
techniques in the productive sectors. Coordinator
node of the Platform MATHEMATICA CONSULTING and
collaborator node in COMPUTING MATHEMATICA
