December 14, 2016 - December 17, 2016

DST-Centre for Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-221005, India

The Indian Mathematics Consortium (TIMC) was founded earlier this year (2015), with a mission "To provide a unified face to all societies or similar bodies in India and to bring them under an over-arching consortium, through voluntary acceptance of membership, regular participation in joint regional programmes such as the teacher-training programs, developing networking, and unitedly dealing with the mathematical organizations from abroad." This is the first major event being organized by TIMC in co-operation with an organization from outside India. Eight plenary talks by distinguished mathematicians and about 15 Symposia on themes of current interest in mathematical research are being planned for the meeting. These will be supplemented by various other activities, including a session focusing on women mathematicians, another on Undergraduate and Graduate education, panel discussions on topics of general interest, short technical presentations, poster presentations etc.
