[cmath] Fwd: ICME-12 Programme

Tue Dec 29 22:29:17 EST 2009

Below please find below new programme details for 
ICME 12 to be held in Seoul in 2012 (from 
Bernard).  We are asked for input and (as usual) 
the timelines are extremely short (Jan 20).
1.  The titles of the 37  proposed topic groups 
are announced and input is sought for names of co-leaders.
2.  Input is sought for proposed names of Regular 
Lecturers.  There are generally some 50 of 
these.    At ICME 11 (2008), Christiane Rousseau, 
Louise Poirier and Carolyn Kieran were Regular 
Lecturers and Eric Muller and Luis Radford were 
part of two survey team reports in the Regular 
Lecture slots.  [I hope I've remembered everyone.]

Of course proposals must be briefly 
documented.  Time is short so teamwork is 
needed.  Ideas should be discussed with colleagues. I'm happy to help.
Happy new year--it's around the corner again.

>Dear ICMI Representatives, Chairs of ICMI Affiliate Study Groups and of CIAEM,
>
>As the tradition has it, I am writing to inform 
>you of developments concerning the programme of 
>ICME-12 (to be held in Seoul in July 2012) and 
>also to ask for your input for some components on the programme.
>
>The International Programme Committee for 
>ICME-12 had its first meeting last June, under 
>the presidency of its Chair, Sung Je Cho.  Many 
>items of the programme are now taking shape, in 
>particular as regards the plenary 
>sessions.  General information about this will 
>be issued in a near future, but at the moment I 
>wish to concentrate on two items on the 
>programme: Topic Study Groups and Regular Lectures.
>
>
>---  TOPIC STUDY GROUPS
>The IPC has identified the list of the 37 Topic 
>Study Groups to be offered at ICME-12.  You will 
>find this list appended at the bottom of this 
>message.  The IPC is now preparing a brief description of each of these Groups.
>
>You are invited to propose names of individuals 
>to be put in charge of the Groups, either as a 
>co-chairs or members of the organising teams.
>
>
>---  REGULAR LECTURES
>You are also invited to propose names of 
>individuals to play the role of regular lecturers at ICME-12.
>
>
>In each case (Topic Study Groups or Regular 
>Lectures), you should provide a few lines of 
>background information supporting your 
>proposals.  Please comment on why you think that 
>this person is suitable to play the role that you are proposing.
>
>
>Your proposals should be sent directly to the 
>chair of the ICME-12 IPC, Sung Je Cho 
>(sungjcho at snu.ac.kr), NO LATER THAN JANUARY 20.
