[grad-students] Summer School in PDE July-Aug 2009

[Olivier Lafleur]

This is a call for applications to the PIMS/Accelerate Canada summer school
in PDE, to be held in Vancouver and Victoria during July-August 2009. Please
forward this message to any potentially interested graduate students and
postdocs. The summer school features at least 12 mini-courses, covering
various aspects of modern PDE, delivered by leading experts.

Some funding is available for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who
will be attending at least six of the mini-courses offered at the summer
school. Support includes funds for local expenses and accommodation, and if
possible, travel expenses.

Applicants for funding should arrange for one recommendation letter to be
sent electronically to Stephen Gustafson <gustaf at math.ubc.ca>, and should
indicate which mini-courses they plan to attend. Students can register for
the summer school at
http://www.math.ubc.ca/~gustaf/SummerSchool09/index.html<http://www.math.ubc.ca/%7Egustaf/SummerSchool09/index.html>

The deadline for applications for funding is March 15, 2009.
