Target Audience

SEAMS School 2026 is primarily intended for Master students and young researchers in mathematics and related disciplines, particularly those from developing countries. The program is designed for participants who have a solid background in differential equations and a strong motivation to pursue research-oriented academic careers.

The School especially welcomes: – Master’s students seeking advanced training in nonlinear differential equations; – Doctoral students and early-career researchers interested in bifurcation theory and perturbation methods; – Young academics aiming to build international research networks and explore opportunities for joint supervision or Ph.D. studies abroad.

Funding Support and Selection Mechanism

SEAMS School 2026 applies a merit-based selection process based on applicants’ Curriculum Vitae (CV) and Motivation Letter. Depending on the applicant’s interest and eligibility, there are three selection mechanisms:

General Participant Selection
Applicants are selected to participate in the School based on academic background, relevance of research interests, and motivation. Selected participants will attend the School without financial support.
Selection for Partial Funding Support
A limited number of participants (approximately 10 participants) will be selected to receive partial funding support. The allocation follows CIMPA-oriented inclusivity principles, with approximately 80% international participants and 20% local participants, and at least 50% female participants. Selection is based on academic merit, motivation, and financial need, as reflected in the CV and motivation letter.
Selection for Letter of Acceptance (LoA) for Ph.D. Study at TU Delft
Applicants who wish to be considered for a Letter of Acceptance (LoA) from TU Delft must meet additional requirements. In addition to the CV and motivation letter, applicants are required to submit a 2–3 page research proposal aligned with the research themes of the School. This selection is intended as an initial screening for prospective Ph.D. candidates under joint supervision schemes.

These mechanisms ensure a transparent, inclusive, and academically rigorous selection process aligned with the objectives of CIMPA-supported advanced schools.
