The Joint India-Indonesia-Iran-Malaysia-Türkiye (JIIIMT)-Algebra Forum is a global, non-governmental, and non-profit scientific organization dedicated to fostering international collaboration in the field of mathematics educations and research, with a special emphasis on the field of algebra. It operates as a member organization of the Rockerr International Foundation (RIF) (Registration No. IV-66/2022, India), and upholds the RIF’s principles of freedom, responsibility, and universality in scientific pursuits.
The actual inception of the JIIIMT-Algebra Forum can be traced back to the first scientific visit of Prof. Shakir Ali to Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University (KMU), Türkiye, in 2019, under the support of TÜBİTAK, Government of Türkiye. During this visit, Prof. Ali proposed the idea of forming an Algebra Forum to Prof. Cihat Abdioğlu in his initial meeting with him and other members of the university. Subsequently, the name JIIIMT–Algebra Forum was formally coined in 2022 by Prof. Shakir Ali (India), in collaboration with Prof. Bayram Ali Ersoy and Prof. Cihat Abdioğlu (Türkiye), and Prof. Indah E. Wijayanti (Indonesia), at the Department of Algebra, Yıldız Technical University, Istanbul, Türkiye, during the 9th ICFAS 2022 Conference. The Forum was established to serve as a platform for nurturing collaboration, innovation, and dissemination of mathematical research among participating countries and the global academic community. The central office of the JIIIMT-Algebra Forum is situated at the Rockerr International Foundation, Bayt Al-Hikmah, Sabir Manzil Complex, Green Park, Opposite F. M.
