Call for proposals for the Banff Research Station 2007

[PIMS Admin Account]

The Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation
and Discovery (BIRS) is now accepting proposals for its 2007 programme.
Full information, guidelines, and online forms are available at the 
website

http://www.pims.math.ca/birs

BIRS is aiming for a 48-week scientific programme in 2007.  Each week, the
station will be running  either a full workshop (40 people for 5 days) or
two half-workshops (20 people for 5 days). As usual, 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.

The deadline for 5-day Workshop and Summer School proposals is
October 14, 2005.

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

October 14, 2005 is also the preferred date to apply for these programmes.
However, proposals for projects involving Research in Teams or Focused
Research Groups can be submitted at any time --subject to availability-- 
but they must be received at least 4 months before their requested start 
date.

Proposal submissions should be made using the online submission form. 
Please see http://www.pims.math.ca/birs/.


Sincerely,

Nassif Ghoussoub,
Scientific Director, Banff International Research Station
