LUMS Mathematics Department Secures ERCE Renewal for 2027–2030
The Department of Mathematics at the Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering has had its status as an Emerging Regional Centre of Excellence (ERCE) renewed by the European Mathematical Society (EMS) for the period 2027–2030.
The renewal follows a review of the Department’s application by the EMS Committee for Developing Countries. In its feedback, the review panel encouraged scientific cooperation between ERCE centres located in Lahore, which will be considered as part of the mid-term assessment.
The recognition reflects the Department’s commitment to high-quality, societally relevant education in fundamental and applied mathematics. As an official partner in the EMS’s mission to advance mathematical knowledge and train mathematicians for careers in research, industry and education, the Department’s renewed status is a significant achievement for the School and the University.
We congratulate the Department of Mathematics on this achievement.
