Mission IMBM is a center of
research in diverse aspects of mathematics and its applications. The center aims to create an environment
which encourages interaction of researchers by providing adequate space, time
and services. One of the aims is to promote interdisciplinary research based
on mathematics. Although independently
administrated, particular collaborative ties exist with the Boğaziçi
University where the center is located. The center has no formal curriculum,
degree programs. Nevertheless, it aims to contribute to the development of
young scientists through graduate seminars and postdoctoral training. Also,
one of its purposes is to raise the public awareness for mathematical
research. Resources of IMBM come from
endowment income, grants and collaboration agreements with public and private
institutions and gifts from corporations and individuals. Funding for
researchers is provided from a variety of sources such as the center itself,
home institutions or grants from collaborating research centers and
universities. IMBM is governed
administratively by two committees. Main functions Programs and workshops Each year, research
programs are determined. An expert of the field is invited to run a major
research program. Each of the major programs
is encouraged to start with an introductory workshop for a community wider
than the group gathered for the research program. Graduate seminars A seminar is organized
prior to the introductory workshop to prepare the interested group of
graduate students to follow the talks given during the major research
programs. Additionally, researchers may organize graduate seminars for
students from the universities collaborating with the Center. Postdoctoral work Postdoctoral trainees are
hosted by the Center for suitable periods of time, usually a semester or a
year. They have the opportunity to get in contact with leaders in their
fields of study. Public events IMBM organizes public events
with the goal of increasing public awareness of research in mathematics and
its applications, through public lectures and media events.
