- The Council is approaching The EMS supreme authority, the Council, will convene on July 16-17 in Berlin. There will be much to discuss, most importantly the choice of the site of the next European Congress in 2020, and the renewal of the Executive Committee (EC). Members are encouraged to nominate candidates who could stand to fill vacancies in the EC.
- The Presidents Meeting The annual meeting of Presidents of EMS member societies is scheduled for April 2-3 in Budapest. This has become an important forum for exchanging views about issues in the societiesâ lives. All the Presidents will be heartily welcome.
- Simons Foundation helping the Africans
The EMS expresses its gratitude to the Simons Foundation which has offered a substantial sum to support young African mathematicians. The Committee for Developing Countries is working on concrete proposals for its use.
- Open consultation on Mathematics for Horizon 2020
The European Commission is holding an open consultation on mathematics funding within the HORIZON 2020 programme. The EMS encourages its members (societies and individuals) to take up the challenge and help give mathematicians better options for future applications. The consultation will stay open till 30 April 2016. https://ec.europa.eu/futurium/en/content/online-consultation-mathematics-exc... ______________________________________________________________________

* Committee for Developing Countries (CDC) Emerging Regional Centres of Excellence (EMS-ERCE) European Mathematical Society . In 2011, under the Committeeâs recommendation, the EMS began the scheme âEmerging Regional Centres of Excellenceâ (ERCE) whose goal is to identify and support institutions in the developing world that can improve the scientific level in their region, by training students from less developed countries nearby and providing opportunities for visiting scholars. Since 2011, several institutions have been awarded this title. The latest call closed on February 28th 2016. So far, the ERCE centres have reported a diversified and positive experience from gaining this title. Any institute interested in the ERCE label is welcome to contact a member of the ERCE committee: Giulia Di Nunno (Oslo); Anna Fino (Torino); Paul Vaderlind (Stockholm) ; Begona Vitoriano (Madrid). http://euro-math-soc.eu/EMS-CDC/

*EMS Newsletter, No. 99 (March 2016)*
The Newsletter No. 99 is now online: http://www.ems-ph.org/journals/newsletter/pdf/2016-03-99.pdf
It contains several mathematical surveys, including a homage to Pierre Dolbeault and an article on Mercator's planisphere. The Young Mathematicians Column (YMCo) will tell you all about the difficulties of being a mum and a post-doc (whilst keeping a sense of humour). Our society column is dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the LMS, with a special focus on its art exhibition.
