3. i-MATH Project

4. 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

5. 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. Aims
