Overview

• University of Santiago de Compostela is one of
  the oldest in Spain and in Europe (from 1495). It
  is a public institution with 45,000 students and
  2,000 teachers/researchers in 24
  Faculties/Schools focused to Classical Sciences
  and Humanities. Faculty of Mathematics (created
  in 1958) has 900 students and 80
  teachers/researches. http//www.usc.es.
• Institute of Mathematics was stablished in 1996
  by members of the Faculty of Mathematics. Current
  personnel 70 researchers. Scientific Committee
  10 members. Their activity is concentrated in
  training and research on applied and pure
  mathematics as a tool to solve technical,
  organizational and economical problems. Research
  groups Applied Mathematics, Statistics and
