In his article “Reviving Ukrainian science: International Centre for Mathematics in Ukraine” Andrii Khrabustovskyi looks over the ICMU history from the early steps to the present day. Since 2022, Ukrainian researchers have received strong support from their colleagues worldwide, and thanks to their efforts, ICMU has become a recognized key institution in the Ukrainian scientific community.
“...it is vital to keep and develop high-level scientific activities in the times when the country faces a military aggression. I am glad that the ICMU project found a wide support and the first two years of its activity were successful; I am convinced the centre will keep this spirit in the years to come, for the good of Ukraine and mathematics.”

President of the European Mathematical Society in 2015‑2018,
Member of the Scientific Board of ICMU
Earlier this year ICMU became an institutional member of the EMS. Our centre stands as vivid proof that support from the international mathematical community can significantly stimulate education and science in a country facing a military invasion. Organisation of scientific events, programmes for young researchers, and international collaborations helps sustain the morale and momentum of Ukrainian scientists and students.
