Call for proposals for Banff Research Station 2006--2d Announcement

[Kelly Choo]

The Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation
and Discovery (BIRS) is now accepting proposals for its 2006 program.

The deadline for 5-day workshop proposals is October 15, 2004.

Full information, guidelines, and online forms are available at the website
http://pims.math.ca/birs

BIRS will be again operating for 40 weeks in 2006 and will be running each
week, either a full workshop (40 people for 5 days) or two half-workshops
(20 people for 5 days). BIRS provides full meals, accommodation,  and
research facilities at no cost to the organizers and to the invited
participants, in a setting conducive to research and collaboration.

In addition BIRS will operate its Research in Teams and Focused Research
Groups programs, which allow smaller groups of researchers to get
together for several weeks of uninterrupted work  at the station.

October 15, 2004 is also a preferred date to apply for these
programs. However, proposals for projects involving Research in Teams
or Focused Research Groups can still be submitted anytime --subject
to availability-- but only till at least 4 months before their
requested start date.

Proposal submissions should be made using the online
submission available at  http://www.pims.math.ca/birs/.
