				<description>&lt;h2 id=&#34;our-mission&#34;&gt;Our mission&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Mathematicians &amp;amp; Natural Sciences Association&lt;/strong&gt; is a research-active&#xA;citizens&amp;rsquo; association based in Kavadarci, North Macedonia. We work on the&#xA;frontiers of pure and applied mathematics — and we help other math and&#xA;science organizations build solid foundations, from governance to tooling&#xA;to public communication.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;We believe good mathematics deserves good infrastructure. That is why&#xA;we run our own research programs &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; support other organizations doing&#xA;the same.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<title>For Organizations</title>

				<description>&lt;p&gt;We help math and science organizations get off the ground — and run well&#xA;once they are. Our work sits at the intersection of mathematics, operations,&#xA;and communication.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;what-we-offer&#34;&gt;What we offer&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Governance &amp;amp; legal setup&lt;/strong&gt; — statute, board structure, registration, compliance.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Operations &amp;amp; tooling&lt;/strong&gt; — repositories, CI, documentation, hosting, identity.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Communications &amp;amp; web&lt;/strong&gt; — bilingual websites, publishing workflows, brand.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fundraising &amp;amp; grants&lt;/strong&gt; — proposal drafting, reporting, and funder relations.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;organizations-weve-helped&#34;&gt;Organizations we&amp;rsquo;ve helped&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3 id=&#34;gramathorg&#34;&gt;gramath.org&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;North Macedonia&amp;rsquo;s mathematics outreach network. We helped with governance&#xA;structure, the public website, and the operating model that lets a small&#xA;volunteer team run a national program.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<title>Research</title>

				<guid>https://instmat.org/research/</guid>
				<description>&lt;p&gt;We work across pure and applied mathematics, with an emphasis on&#xA;computable, explorable, and honest mathematics. Our interests cluster&#xA;around a few connected areas.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;topology&#34;&gt;Topology&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Persistent homology, applied topology, and the computational side of&#xA;algebraic topology. We are particularly interested in what topological&#xA;invariants can tell us about high-dimensional data.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;neural-networks--ai&#34;&gt;Neural Networks &amp;amp; AI&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Expressivity, generalization, and the mathematics of why neural networks&#xA;work. We study the interplay between architecture, data geometry, and&#xA;learnability — with a bias toward results that are testable.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
