Abstract

ADAM-Maths is an association dedicated to promoting mathematics and computer science among young people. Through clubs, training sessions, workshops, and preparation for international competitions, the association cultivates an interest in research, creativity, and scientific excellence. This presentation highlights the initiatives led by ADAM-Maths, its impact on student education, its participation in international Olympiads, and its contribution to promoting science in the region. Mathematics is an essential tool for understanding the world, developing reasoning skills, and fostering innovation. With this in mind, ADAM-Maths strives to create a stimulating environment where students can deepen their knowledge, develop their skills, and prepare for international scientific challenges. Since its official establishment in 2023, the association has benefited from the support of the Ministry of Education and pursues a mission to train, mentor, and support young talent.
