[cmath] Heidelberg Laureate Forum

[Kenneth Davidson]

Dear colleagues,

A month ago, I circulated a memo (copied below) about an opportunity to
nominate a strong student or PDF to attend the 4th Heidelberg Laureate Forum,
which brings a number of winners of the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize, the Alan 
Turing Award and the Nevanlinna Medal to Heidelberg to give talks and mingle
with a select group of about 100 graduate students and PDFs.

I understand that the local expenses (housing and meals) are covered, but there 
is no source of other travel funds. You and/or the student would have to arrange that.

The IMU is giving us the opportunity to endorse a number of applications.
So if you have a student or postdoc who is interested in applying and you
would like to ask for a CMS endorsement, then you should do the following:
	1. Follow the online application procedure
	2. Send me a copy of the application, the student’s CV, and your recommendation
		letter no later than Friday January 8, 2016.
The International Affairs Committee will rank applicants and decide which ones
will receive our endorsement.

Sincerely,
Ken Davidson

> The 4th Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF), see http://www.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org <http://www.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org/>,  will take place in Heidelberg, Germany during September 18–23, 2016. At HLF all winners of the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize, the Alan Turing Award and the Nevanlinna Medal are invited to attend. In addition, young and talented computer scientists and mathematicians are invited to apply for participation. The three previous HLFs have been an exceptional success. The HLF serves as a great platform for interaction between the masters in the fields of mathematics and computer science and young talents.
> 
> Applications for participation at the 4th HLF are open in three categories: Undergraduate, Graduate PhD, and PostDoc. See the webpage www.application.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org <http://www.application.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org/> for the online application form and further information. The IMU Adhering Organizations and national mathematical societies can nominate young researchers. Nominated persons get "priority treatment", but, since there may be too many nominations, they have no acceptance guarantee.  During the nomination process you will be asked for an Org-ID, which is IMU83214 for the IMU. The deadline for application is February 3, 2016. Observe that the HLF reserves the right to close the application website earlier.
> 
> IMU asks its Adhering Organizations to distribute this information among their national mathematical communities, if possible through the newsletters of the national mathematical societies. 
> 
> The HLF was initiated by the late German entrepreneur Klaus Tschira, and is supported by the Klaus Tschira Foundation,  The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, The Association for Computing Machinery, as well as The International Mathematical Union.
