[cmath] ICIAM 2007 Zurich: Call for Minisymposia

[Bill Langford]

Please forward to Canadian Mathematicians:

The 6th International Congress on Industrial and Applied
Mathematics will be held in Zurich, Switzerland, 16-20 July
2007.   These ICIAM Congresses, held in years  N = 3 (mod 4),
are the leading international meetings in applied and
industrial mathematics.

Note that the following ICIAM 2011 will be in Vancouver, Canada.
Therefore, the CAIMS Board especially encourages a strong
Canadian participation in ICIAM 2007.  One way to participate
is to organize a Minisymposium at ICIAM 2007.  In this way,
you can bring together 4 strong researchers in your choice
of field, to communicate new work and partake of all that
ICIAM Zurich has to offer.  Unfortunately, ICIAM can not provide
funding for accepted Minisymposia, except of course for
meeting rooms and all the conference overhead costs.  The ICIAM
Call for Proposals of Minisymposia follows below.

======================================================
ICIAM 2007 Minisymposium proposals are being solicited:

Deadline for proposals:          31 Aug 2006
Notification of acceptance:      30 Sep 2006

An ICIAM minisymposium proposal requires a title and a short abstract
or description (to be printed in the program) plus a short justification,
which includes a tentative list of speakers.

An ICIAM minisymposium consists of either one session (4 talks of 30 min)
or two such sessions.

A participant may organize several minisymposia, but should speak only
in one of them. He or she may also speak in other minisymposia that are
organized by other persons.

The proposal has to be submitted electronically via the conference
registration system, which is accessible from

    http://www.iciam07.ch/registration

ICIAM discourages minisymposia in which most of the speakers or all the
coauthors come from the same organization.

For additional rules and recommendations on ICIAM minisymposia see:
