About
The Independent University of Moscow (IUM; Russian: Независимый Московский Университет, НМУ) is a non-governmental educational institution in Moscow, Russia, focused on advanced study and training in mathematics. Founded in 1991 by a group of mathematicians including Vladimir Arnold (chairman) and Sergei Novikov, IUM now operates as a division of the Moscow Center for Continuous Mathematical Education (MCCME). The founders cited both the École normale supérieure (Paris) and the informal People’s University organized by mathematician Bella Subbotovskaya as organizational models. Teaching is primarily scheduled in the evenings and lectures are generally open to the public.
