Thematic program and PDE summer school 2009 at PIMS

Date : 26 mars 2008 18:11:58 HNEC

This is a preliminary announcement for a thematic program and a summer school in PDE at the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) during the period June-August 2009.

The core of the scientific activities will be the following six workshops to be held at PIMS-University of British Columbia in Vancouver.  Two related workshops have already been approved to run at the Banff International Research Station (BIRS) during that period.

A summer school with 12 mini-courses will be run in conjunction with the program: each workshop will have at least 2 mini-courses given by experts and which will be directed towards advanced graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Financial support will be made available to support interested and deserving applicants.  Additional funding is being sought from the NSF, the Clay Institute, and the MITACS network. Graduate students support will also be coordinated with the institutions of the PRIMA network.

Objet : [BIRS] Summer School in PDE July-Aug 2009

This is a call for applications to the PIMS/Accelerate Canada summer school in PDE, to be held in Vancouver and Victoria during July-August 2009. Please forward this message to any potentially interested graduate students and postdocs. The summer school features at least 12 mini-courses, covering various aspects of modern PDE, delivered by leading experts.

Some funding is available for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who will be attending at least six of the mini-courses offered at the summer school. Support includes funds for local expenses and accommodation, and if possible, travel expenses.

Applicants for funding should arrange for one recommendation letter to be sent electronically to Stephen Gustafson <gustaf@math.ubc.ca>, and should indicate which mini-courses they plan to attend. Students can register for the summer school at

The deadline for applications for funding is March 15, 2009.
