Call for Applications: Ibni Oumar Mahamat Saleh Prize

Dear Friends,

The Prize ” Ibni Oumar Mahamat Saleh” was created to keep alive the memory of our colleague and to continue his commitment to Mathematics in Africa. It is awarded every year to a young mathematician from Central Africa or West Africa by a scientific committee set up by ICPAM. The prize funds a scientific visit of several months in a research institute.

Since September, the Ibni Prize is hosted by the Foundation of the University of Orleans. Indeed this is the University where Ibni Oumar Mahamat Saleh was a student and obtained his doctorate. The Prize has now a permanent home. We thank the French Mathematical Society for its support during the first years of the Prize and the Foundation of the University of Orleans for its welcome.

a) A new round of fund raising is now opened for the Ibni Prize 2015. We thank you for your donation which can be made through the Foundation of the University of Orleans at

http://www.univ-orleans.fr/en/prixibni/subscription

A receipt for tax purposes will be sent to you. In case you meet a difficulty, do not hesitate to contact us.

b) The 2015 call for applications is on the website

http://www.univ-orleans.fr/en/prixibni/application

The deadline is November 30, 2015. We kindly ask you to forward this information to potential candidates.

c) The Prize was awarded in 2009 to Oumarou Abdou Arbi, from Niger, for a scientific visit at INRIA in Rennes, in 2010 to Amadou Tall, from Senegal, for a scientific visit at the University of Strasbourg, in 2011 to Solym Mawaki Manou Abi, from Togo, for a scientific visit at the University of Toulouse, in 2012 to El Hadji Deme, from Senegal, for a scientific visit at INRIA in Grenoble and in 2013 to Koffi Wilfrid Houedanou, from IMSP Benin for a scientific visit to the University of Valenciennes and in 2014 to David Jaures Fotsa Mbogne, from Cameroon, for a scientific visit at the University of Marseilles. We keep contact with the recipients, who are successfully pursuing their scientific career.

The truth about the fate of Ibni is still unknown! We want to know.

Best wishes,
Marie-Francoise Roy and Jean Renault
