zbMATH Open, the world's most comprehensive and longest-running abstracting and reviewing service in mathematics, continues to expand its features in 2024. As a collaborative effort between FIZ Karlsruhe, the European Mathematical Society (EMS) and the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, the platform is set to become a crucial hub in the global network of mathematics information.

The EMS Young Academy (EMYA) is delighted to announce the selection of 20 new members who will serve as the third cohort from 2025 to 2028, bringing the total membership to 80 young mathematicians from across Europe.

The Mathematical Research Data Initiative (MaRDI) is a consortium based in Germany working to develop infrastructure for mathematical research data. Its mission is to establish standards for verified data, reproducible workflows, and accessible services to support the global mathematical community. As one of the international partners, the EMS joins other organizations in contributing to MaRDI's efforts to promote open and standardized data practices in mathematical research.

The Committee for Developing Countries (CDC) invites applications for the Emerging Regional Centres of Excellence (ERCE). This prestigious 4-years label recognizes mathematics centers in the Global South that demonstrate excellence in research and play a vital role in regional education, particularly in training students from neighboring areas.

EMYA, the EMS Young Academy, is launching a new initiative: MOSS, the Mathematics Online Seminar Series, from February 2025 onwards. It is organized by Jelena Jankov Pavlović (University of Osijek, Croatia) and Cristina Molero-Río (École Polytechnique, France).

Throughout 2025, members of the EMS Mathematics Outreach and Engagement Committee will share their stories and insights with our community through a series of interviews. The Committee's mission is to show people why mathematics matters and how it is part of science, technology, and many other aspects of modern life. Through these interviews, we will learn about each member's work within the Committee and their vision for its future, alongside their personal experience in mathematics outreach. We begin our series with Katie Chicot, Chair of the Committee.
