'''Beijing Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications''' (BIMSA),<ref>{{Cite web |title=BIMSA - About |url=https://www.bimsa.cn/about |access-date=2024-07-28 |website=BIMSA |language=en}}</ref> located in [[Huairou, Beijing|Huairou district]] of Beijing, is an international mathematics research institution, co-sponsored by Beijing Municipal Government and [[Tsinghua University]].
BIMSA is dedicated to advancing research in mathematics, theoretical physics, computer science, and related fields. Its goal is to promote inter-disciplinary collaboration and to bridge the gap between fundamental research and real-world applications.
The International Congress of Basic Science (ICBS) is held at BIMSA.<ref>{{Cite web |title=International Congress of Basic Science(ICBS),The International Mathematical Summer Camp |url=https://www.icbs.cn/site/pages/index/index?pageId=930f0000-54af-a6e2-31c3-08dc45561427 |access-date=2024-07-28 |website=www.icbs.cn}}</ref>
==History==
On June 12, 2020, with the support of the Beijing Municipal Government and the efforts of the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission and the Huairou District Government, the Beijing Yanqi Lake Institute of Applied Mathematics (referred to as "Beijing Institute of Applied Mathematics") was officially established. This new research and development institution leverages the mathematical resources of [[Tsinghua University]] and the [[Chinese Academy of Sciences]] and was initiated by world-renowned mathematician Professor Shing-Tung Yau, director of the Center of Mathematical Sciences at Tsinghua University. Tsinghua University signed a cooperation agreement with the newly established Beijing Institute of Applied Mathematics.<ref>{{Cite web |title=北京雁栖湖应用数学研究院成立-清华大学 |url=https://www.tsinghua.edu.cn/info/1181/57373.htm |access-date=2024-07-28 |website=www.tsinghua.edu.cn}}</ref>
The first president is [[Shing-Tung Yau]], a mathematician known for his work in [[differential geometry]] and [[mathematical physics]]. He is a [[Fields Medal]]ist and a [[Wolf Prize in Mathematics|Wolf Prize in Mathematics laureate]].
==Research==
The BIMSA conducts research across a wide range of areas in mathematics, physics and information science, from theoretical to applied.
BIMSA has more than 10 research groups active across a range of topics. The research areas include:<ref>{{Cite web |title=Algebraic Geometry |url=https://www.bimsa.cn/groups/algebraic-geometry.html |access-date=2024-07-28 |website=BIMSA |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Yanqi Lake Beijing Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications (BIMSA) |url=https://www.nature.com/nature-index/institution-outputs/china/yanqi-lake-beijing-institute-of-mathematical-sciences-and-applications-bimsa/600118fe1e9bf944820d3416 |access-date=2024-07-28 |website=Nature Index |language=en}}</ref>

==Graduate Program==
BIMSA has established long-term cooperative relationships with various universities to jointly train doctoral students, leveraging the teaching and research strengths of both parties. Graduates receive doctoral degree certificates and diplomas from the respective universities. Currently, BIMSA is conducting joint doctoral training programs with the [[Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences]], the [[University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences]], and the Institute of Statistics and Big Data at [[Renmin University of China]]. The first cohort of joint doctoral students with the [[Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences]], the [[University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences]], and [[Beihang University]] officially started and enrolled in 2023.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BIMSA - Students |url=https://www.bimsa.cn/join/join_students.html |access-date=2024-07-28 |website=BIMSA |language=en}}</ref>
