Dear Students,

  Below is an announcement about an opportunity to attend a PRIMA Congress. I don't know anything about it,

but if someone is interested in attending (and then letting us know about the experience), it appears that we can nominate one student. Please let Cristina know if you are interested.

Best,

Leonid Koralov

Hi Leonid,

See below.  Please consider sending to the graduate students.  We can nominate one student to travel to this conference.  I am not even sure what this conference is and why should people go there, but it may be of value.  Let me know what you think.

Best -

Doron

Dear Colleagues, 

The Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath), previously known as MSRI, in partnership with the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS), is now accepting nominations for participation support for the Pacific Rim Mathematical Association (PRIMA) Congress, which is being hosted by PIMS in Vancouver, Canada, December 4-9, 2022.

SLMath/MSRI is inviting nominations for travel support from its Academic Sponsor Institutions. Each individual selected will be eligible to receive $500USD of support, with those presenting at the conference being eligible for an additional $250USD. As a limited number of spots are available, we strongly encourage Department Chairs to nominate faculty and students by September 15, 2022, and we strongly encourage nominees to register for the Congress as soon as possible (see details below).

SLMath/MSRI may accept up to 3 nominations from each institution:

1. one pre-tenured faculty (without research grants),
2. one graduate student,
3. and one additional member of the department (without research grants). This is only applicable if one of the above is a woman or a member of another underrepresented group. 

Please submit your nominations at this LINK no later than September 15, 2022. 

Should you have questions about the nomination process, please contact Chris Marshall, Senior Administrator of Scientific Activities, at ch...@slmath.org. 

PRIMA was established to connect mathematical scientists across the Pacific Rim, and to build a vibrant and interconnected mathematical community whose activities impact economic, social, and cultural development. Past PRIMA congresses were held in Australia (2009), China (2013) and Mexico (2017), with more than 300 participants at each session. The 2022 Congress will feature:

• Public and plenary lectures

• Focused Special sessions on research topics in the mathematical sciences
• PRIMA Early Career Research Showcase
• PRIMA Career Fair

• Networking opportunities

Registration details are available online here: https://prima2022.primamath.org/#registration*

• Registration: Aug 1 - Oct 15

• Late Registration: Oct 15 - Dec 9

Early career researchers are encouraged to submit proposals for talks and posters before August 31, 2022. Submissions are being accepted here: https://prima2022.primamath.org/#sessions

Best regards, 

Hélène
