• In soviet time the Institute belonged to Lithuania Academy of Science which was a part of USSR Academy of Science

• Currently it is an independent state scientific institute, – a budgetary institution for scientific researches

lt Briefly on the Institute (2) Management

The Council consists of 31 member:• 20 members of the Council (10 representatives of informatics science trend and 10 – of mathematics science trend) are secret ballot of the scientists of IMI• 10 members of the Council are nominated by the Ministry of science and Education• Director of the Institute is also a member of the Council (by post)

Term of the Council is 5 years.

The Institute is administrated by Council and Director.

lt Scientific Organisational Activities• Together with partners, in the period of 2000-2004, the

Institute has organized 9 international events: conferences, workshops, etc. Some conferences are held regularly.

• In 2000-2004, the IMI took part in 3 exhibitions. One of them was World Exhibition EXPO 2000.

• 6 scientific seminars are held regularly at the Institute, in which experts of corresponding fields from other institutions of science and studies participate as well.

• The scientists of Institute are members of editorial boards of many international journals; referees, experts, as well as estimators of work of international contests; they also participate in the activities of world and European scientific organisations.

Conferences organized by IMI (1)

International Vilnius Conference on the Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics

• In the period of 1973-2002, 8 conferences have been held.• The initiator and main organiser of the conference was academician Vytautas STATULEVIČIUS.

The participants are greeted by Lithuanian President Valdas ADAMKUS
