I believe that mathematical education is the key to success in the 21st century, for the developed as well as for the poorest countries of the world. As a Romanian student in the 1990's, I benefited myself from scholarships from richer countries. They greatly facilitated my education. I wish that the excellent students of today's poor countries get the same type of help I got at their age, encouraging them to pursue a career in mathematics.
I want to strengthen participation in the International Mathematical Olympiad for teams from developing sub-Saharan African countries like Uganda. The IMO is the leading international math competition for high-school students, taking place annually since 1959.
