Joint Mathematical Weekends |
|
 |
Description:
The EMS has launched a new format of joint meetings with its corporate
member societies, following the model set out by the Portuguese
Mathematical Society in the meeting that took place in Lisbon from
September 12 to 14, 2003
(see http://www.math.ist.utl.pt/ems/).
These "EMS- joint mathematical week-ends" will start on a Friday, and
finish on the Sunday, both at lunchtime, so that they can be easily
attended during term-time.
Each would cover around 4 subjects, chosen by the local organisers to fit
the research strengths of the local mathematicians, or new subjects they
would want to develop.
For each subject, a plenary lecture and two half-days of parallel sessions
will be organised.
Past experience shows that such an internationalisation of the meetings of
national societies helps to substantially increase participation.
The EMS will help with scientific organisation, publicity and funding
applications.
With more than fifty corporate members, the EMS hopes to see regular
meetings of this format. Note that mathematics departments or individual
members can also plan such meetings.
EMS Joint Mathematical Weekend in 2006
Supported by the French societies SMF and SMAI, the Mathematical institutes
in Angers and Nantes and the EMS organize a joint EMS mathematical weekend
in
Nantes, France, June 16-18, 2006
