The Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) welcomes and invites proposals for mini-courses for the CMS Winter Meeting in Montreal from December 11-14, 2026.

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

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

The CMS Winter Meeting mini-courses will be held Friday, December 11. Attendees will be charged a small registration fee.

All proposed sessions should be in line with the CMS Code of Conduct.

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 before August 31, 2026 via our online form.
