3MC-CIMPA School: Second round of registration
Due to additional funding for local participants, we opened a second round of registration for the 3CIMPA School on “Mathematical and Statistical Modeling in Oncology” that will take place at North-West University, South Africa, on 3-14 February 2025. This concerns only those who reside in South Africa.
This CIMPA school is part of a series of events that has emerged from the collaboration of three bodies: the Mathematical Modeling Mini-Courses (3MC) program, Potchefstroom, South Africa, the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Studies (PIMS), Manitoba, Canada, and the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS), Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
Registration will remain open till 8 December. To register please fill out the online registration form.

In preparation for this year’s AGM at the 67th annual SAMS Congress scheduled to take place at the University of Pretoria from 4 to 6 December 2024, the current SAMS Council requested nominations for three vacant positions. These included the portfolios of the Vice-President and Education, currently filled by the interim members Prof. Seithuti Moshokoa and Dr. Belinda Huntley, respectively, and the recently vacant Liason portfolio.
For more details on the responsibilities of the Council members and a description of these positions, kindly consult the SAMS website: https://www.sams.ac.za/governance-sams
We are happy to report that we received the following nominations:
- Dr. Amartya Goswami (A_Goswami_CV) was nominated for the position of Vice-President.
- Dr. Rina Durandt (R_Durandt_CV) was nominated for the Education portfolio.
Sadly, we did not receive any nominations for the vacant Liason portfolio. We hope to address this during the AGM, where we will give SAMS members the opportunity to nominate appropriate candidates, and to give their views on the suitability of the nominations already received.
We look forward to your participation in this year’s AGM.
Dear Colleagues,
The SAMS WiM Division invites you to a Research Connect Event on 5 December, aimed at linking women mathematicians in research.
Attached please find a poster with more information. Attendance is limited to 40 participants.
We hope to see you there!

It is our greatest pleasure to announce the conference on “Evolution Equations, Operator Semigroups and Beyond” that will be held October 13-17, 2025, at the Stellenbosch University in South Africa. Attached to this e-mail you can also find the conference poster.
This conference aims to bring together leading experts in the fields of operator semigroups and evolution equations. With speakers who possess extensive expertise in these areas, we seek to foster a productive dialogue and exchange of ideas. This gathering aspires to lay a robust foundation for future dynamic exploration into the theory and applications of operator semigroups and evolution equations.
A list of possible topics for contributed talks includes, but is not limited to: Applications to Biology, Asymptotic Behavior of Operator Semigroups, Control Theory, Delay Equations, Ergodic Theory, Evolution Equations on Graphs, Nonlinear Evolution Equations, Numerical Methods of Operator Semigroups, Perturbation Theory, Port-Hamiltonian Systems, Positivity, Spectral Theory, etc.
This conference offers a unique opportunity to discuss the latest research in the area of evolution equations and operator semigroups and to engage with both local and international experts in the field. Additionally, you will have the chance to enjoy stunning coastal views and vibrant local culture. The following invited speakers are confirmed for this conference:
- Jacek Banasiak (University of Pretoria, South Africa)
- Balint Farkas (University of Wuppertal, Germany)
- Marjeta Kramar Fijavž (University of Ljubljana, Slovenia)
- Christian Seifert (Technical University Hamburg, Germany)
- Sanne ter Horst (North-West University, South Africa)
- Bruce Watson (University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa)
If you are interested in participating in this conference, please visit our website,
and register for the event. The final conference fee will be published in due course and will depend on the available funding, but will be approximately R1 500 – R3 000 (75 – 150 Euro).
