- I am CIMPA advisor, and a member of the CIMPA Africa team which meets by telephone about three times a year and discuss activities past and future.
- I am coadvisor of the Ph D thesis of Seny Diatta from Ziguinchor University (Senegal).
- I am collaborating with Otto Adamou from Niamey (Niger) and
Daouda Niang Diatta from Ziguinchor (Senegal).
- I am a member of the executive committee of SARIMA
a club of french universities and research institutions acting
for mathematics in subsaharan Africa,
(SARIMA website is being updated, and a new logo has been
created).
- I am together with Jean Laurent in charge of the Ibni Prize.
- I am a facilitator of two of the Simons Foundation Africa
Mathematics projects. NLAGA, devoted to
pde, geometry and applications is based mainly in Senegal, with
members in Niger, Mali, Tchad, etc .... Prmais
with members in Gabon, Cameroon and Senegal is devoted to
cryptology and coding theory, and uses number theory and
algebraic geometry.
- I prepared with Jean-Françoise Dupuy an application for a Groupement de Recherche International from CNRS for Mathematics in subsaharan Africa which is currently under evaluation.
- I am a member of the joint AMU-CIMPA committee which is
selecting EMA/AMS (African Mathematical Schools). In 2016, 8 of
these school were selected.
- I am a member of the international organization committee of
the First
meeting of AWMA west african chapter taking place in
Senegal in july 2016.
- I am the chair of the newly launched IMU Committe for Women in
Mathematics. CWM sponsors a number of events aimed at
establishing or supporting networks for women in mathematics,
preferably at the continental or regional level, and with
priority given to networks and individuals in developing or
emerging countries, see here. The 2016 events will take place in
Columbia (Latin America), India, Indonesia (S. and E. Asia),
Kazakhstan (Central Asia), Mexico (Latin America), Senegal (West
