Call for Special Session Proposals for PRIMA 2017 Oaxaca
Third Congress of the Pacific Rim Mathematical Association
Proposals for special sessions at PRIMA 2017 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.
Special Session proposals should include:
- the names, affiliations and contact information (including email
addresses) of all the organizers, with one organizer designated as
main
contact organizer, - a brief presentation of the topic and scope (up to one page),
- preliminary list of the expected speakers.
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.
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.
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.
Proposals should be sent to colliand@math.ubc.ca as soon as possible and definitely before June 15, 2016.
Best regards,
J. Colliander
