It's here! Minhyong Kim is head of the International Centre of Mathematical Sciences, a place in Edinburgh that holds workshops. Often these focus on pure math. But when I was visiting Edinburgh, he said he wanted to fund proposals for workshops on
A. Integrating the global research community
B. Mathematical challenges for humanity
C. The global history of mathematics
Now they're doing it! Propose a workshop before April 15th!

I mainly talked to Minhyong about "Mathematical challenges for humanity", which will host collaborative projects, workshops, seminars, courses, and schools dealing with ways that mathematicians can help humanity face many urgent problems.
Now that I'm on the scientific committee of this initiative, I look forward to reviewing proposals for workshops subjects including BUT NOT LIMITED TO the ones listed here! These are just examples:

What about #ModernMonetaryTheory ?
@post - sure, apply to run a workshop on it!
