Call for Mini Courses | 2024 CMS Winter Meeting

Call for Mini Courses

The Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) welcomes and invites proposals for mini-courses for the CMS Winter Meeting in Vancouver from November 29 – December 2, 2024.

Since 2019, the CMS meeting program has included a limited number of three-hour mini-courses with the following objectives:

1. Initiating attendees to the subject of a novel scientific session, so as to broaden the scope of its audience and appeal; or
2. Introducing attendees to a cutting-edge area of pure or applied mathematics, for both research and professional interests; or
3. Providing professional development opportunities and advice, particularly for graduate students and new PhDs.

The CMS Winter Meeting mini-courses will be held Friday, November 29. Attendees will be charged a small registration fee.

Proposals should include:

1. The names, affiliations and emails of the organizers. Each mini course is allowed one or two organizers per course.
2. A title and a brief description of the focus and purpose of the mini-course, being particularly clear on how it meets one of the three objectives outlined above;
3. A brief description of the anticipated mathematical background of the audience.

Deadlines:

As the number of mini-courses is limited, please submit your proposal to the Scientific Directors (below) before September 30, 2024. Their contact information is as follows:

Julia Gordon (University of British Columbia): gor@math.ubc.ca

Melissa Huggan (Vancouver Island University): melissa.huggan@viu.ca
