Fwd: ICERM Unveils its Academic Sponsorship Program

[William Stein]

Hi,

Does anybody think we should do something like this for Sage?

Member institutes would have a high priority for spots at Sage Days, summer programs, customized Sage notebook servers, etc.  

This is the sort of thing that would be best discussed to death for a long time on a mailing list before "unveiling" it.

Subject: ICERM Unveils its Academic Sponsorship Program
To:


ICERM is happy to announce our "Academic Sponsorship Program". This program enables members to gain insight into cutting edge
mathematical research from peer institutions and industry, apply what they learn from participation in ICERM programs to their own
research efforts, support the training of a new generation of mathematical scientists, and enhance math education in a diverse community.

Annual Membership is only $3,000 for US Institutions and $5,000 for International Institutions. The annual membership fee is allocated to
support an institution's participation in ICERM programs and events. This money may be supplemented by ICERM funds.

Applicants from member institutions will receive priority status for support at ICERM events and programs from these membership funds.

How it Works:

• Each academic member institute has an accumulating account at ICERM in which their annual membership fee is set aside for use towards ICERM-related activities.
  
• Member institutions appoint a designated contact to communicate requests for these funds.
• Members can access the available funds within two consecutive academic years. Unused funds after this period are not redeemable.

Members receive:

• Invitations to apply for ICERM programs and events;
• Notification of ICERM news via email;
• The opportunity to build collaborations that enrich research;
• Public acknowledgment of support via ICERM's website and publications.

More information on this program can be found online at: http://icerm.brown.edu/academic_sponsors

Sounds interesting to me. Hasn't this kind of idea was brought up before?
In any case, if it brings in money into Sage, great. I'm not sure how
workable a flat fee is, but I'm not much of a business person either.

I assume you mean to set up a similar program for sage (where
institutions can join the Sage Foundation or something), not join ICERM,
right?

Probably, though I leave everything on the table for now. For
example, the ICERM people really like the Sage project, so who knows?
