[cmath] November 2010 e-Newsletter: ICIAM 2011

[MITACS Director]

Dear friends,

There has been so much activity surrounding ICIAM 2011 (Vancouver, BC, Canada from July 18 - 22, 2011) that it is difficult to know where to start.



Most importantly, registration is now live<http://www.iciam2011.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=43&Itemid=48>! (www.iciam2011.com/goto/registration<http://www.iciam2011.com/goto/registration>) Early bird rates will be available until February 28, 2011 so register soon. We have also negotiated excellent rates suitable for any budget at hotels and hostels in Vancouver. For more information, click here<http://www.iciam2011.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=30&Itemid=32>.



All contributed minisymposia taking place at the Congress have been confirmed. You can find a list of these here<http://www.iciam2011.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=42&Itemid=47>.



I would like to draw your attention to a number of travel subsidies<http://www.iciam2011.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=33&Itemid=35> available to young US researchers, Canadian mathematical sciences students and participants from developing nations. We encourage you to review these subsidies to investigate your eligibility. In addition, Canada does require visas or permits from individuals from many countries and the turnaround times vary. Please visit this page<http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/index.asp> on the Government of Canada website for complete information.



To compliment your time in Vancouver, we have worked with a local company to create a series of excursions<http://www.iciam2011.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=44&Itemid=49> for ICIAM delegates between July 16 and 23rd. These include trips to Whistler and Victoria, tours of the city and surrounding mountains, kayaking outings, museums and float plan adventures. Do not miss out on these amazing opportunities.



Don't forget that the deadline for abstract submissions for minisymposia and contributed speakers is December 15, 2010!

I would like to close by expressing our sadness at the passing of Prof. Jerrold Marsden, co-Chair of the Scientific Program Committee for ICIAM 2011 and a member of the Steering Committee, who lost his battle with cancer on September 21, 2010. Jerry's influence and imprint will be strongly felt in the structure and scientific content of the Congress and his enthusiasm and knowledge will be deeply missed by his colleagues at ICIAM 2011.


We look forward to seeing you in Vancouver!

Arvind Gupta

President, ICIAM 2011

CEO & Scientific Director, MITACS
