MoU Signed between Union of Iranian Mathematics Societies (UIMS) and ECOSF
 ECO Science Foundation had been interacting with the Isfahan Mathematics House (IMH) for promotion of learning mathematics through non formal methods because many a people in numerous countries feel mathematics to be a difficult rather a dry subject. However, Iran ever since antient times has been very good at mathematics. Iran has also established a network of Math Houses around the country. ECOSF had also invited IMH experts to Pakistan in a science fair, and planned to utilize the expertise of Iran in mathematics to help other ECO member countries. The IMH then discussed the matter with the greater forum of Union of Iranian Mathematics Societies (UIMS), of which IMH is a member, and the UIMS showed its willingness to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with ECOSF to expand the concept and non-formal methods of teaching mathematics in ECO member countries.
