The Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics (RIDC NeuroMat) is excited to announce the launch of our continuation plan. Thanks to the recent extension granted by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), NeuroMat's term now extends until July 31, 2025. This continuation plan has been crafted to accommodate this extension period.
Amidst difficulties associated with the COVID-19 pandemics worldwide, in a context in which universities are closed and scientific missions are prohibited, we must do our best to keep scientific life alive. The series of webinars "Mathematics and Neurobiology Intertwined", presented on this page, bears the distinctive feature of bonding efforts and teams to move science forward.

The international assessment made in 2018, promoted by the OECD, PISA, was widely disseminated in December 2019. It is a three-year exam that consists of three subjects, reading, mathematics and science. 600,000 15-year-old participated, chosen as a sample representing the 32 million students from the 79 countries participating in the test.
This non-exhaustive list brings up some of the key achievements of the Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics (RIDC NeuroMat/FAPESP) in 2019. It is not conceived as a Statement of Impact --as the 2018 SOI--, since it may not be seen as an official compte-rendu; it is rather an informal recompilation of key moments of our team. This accounts for activities and milestones since NeuroMat's renewal for six years.
The NeuroMat dissemination team has launched a series of short videos on which young researchers describe briefly questions they tackle and their ongoing work. As of now, four videos were distributed with junior NeuroMat researchers Fernando Araujo Najman, Fernanda Torres, Arthur Lopes da Silva Valencio, and Luiggi Lustosa.
