Its principal activities are scientific research in mathematics and its applications, and providing infrastructure for research. Since 1996, the IMAS has been running the Prague editorial unit for Zentralblatt MATH. It also coordinates development of the Czech Digital Mathematics Library (DML-CZ). The pilot part of the DML-CZ will be launched by the end of 2009, it will contain the major part of relevant mathematical literature ever published in the Czech lands. IMAS as the operator of the DML-CZ will provide its content to the EuDML and contribute the OCR facilities and tools for retrieval and enhancement of metadata. IMAS is also the publisher of three research journals included in the DML-CZ.
