About the Conference
The Canadian Undergraduate Mathematics Conference (CUMC) is a national conference organized each summer by undergraduate students for undergraduate students at different institutions across Canada.
The CUMC is an opportunity for students to explore mathematics outside their usual surroundings and spark their interest in areas they have not yet been exposed to. Indeed, the core of the gathering consists of a series of talks given by participants. The conference therefore provides a unique chance for students to present what they find most fascinating and exciting, as well as to practice their expository skills in an inclusive and noncompetitive environment. As a national conference, the CUMC is a bilingual event. Moreover, the event seeks to promote diversity within the field of mathematics itself, by offering keynote lectures in both pure and applied fields.
The CUMC is primarily organised by a local organising committee at the host institution, under the aegis of Studc. Studc ensures that the transition between former and current CUMC organising teams goes smoothly and is in charge of the CUMC bid process. Through Studc, the CMS provides the CUMC with some funding, web hosting, conference registration services, and maintains control over the bank account from year to year.
