<p>Third Congress of the <a href="http://www.primath.org/">Pacific Rim Mathematical Association</a></p>

<p>Oaxaca, Mexico<br>
August 14 - 18, 2017</p>
<p>Proposals for special sessions at <a href="http://prima2017.math.unam.mx/">PRIMA 2017</a> are welcomed by the Special Sessions Subcommittee. Early submission of proposals is encouraged: excellent
proposals will be approved on a regular basis before the deadline, so that
session speakers may be invited in plenty of time to make travel and
funding arrangements. </p>
<p>Special Session proposals should include: </p>
<ul>
<li>the names, affiliations and contact information (including email
addresses) of all the organizers, with one organizer designated as
main <code>contact organizer</code>,</li>
<li>a brief presentation of the topic and scope (up to one page),</li>
<li>preliminary list of the expected speakers.</li>
</ul>
<p>The topics should be broad and fairly well represented throughout the
Pacific Rim. The list of organizers must include at least two
mathematicians from different countries in the Pacific Rim. We encourage proposed sessions to represent the diversity of researchers in the Pacific Rim.</p>
<p>Each special session will consist of two 4-hour periods. We recommend that
the organizers base their sessions on a total of 16 half-hour time slots
for their speakers. </p>
<p>Although it is anticipated that limited financial support will be
available
to help with expenses of some of the participants, at present we cannot
promise financial support for the special sessions. </p>
<p><strong>Proposals should be sent</strong> to colliand@math.ubc.ca as soon as possible and definitely <strong>before June 15, 2016</strong>. </p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
Jim Colliander</p>
