[DMANET] ICIAM 2011 e-Newsletter - November 2010

Dear friends,

There has been so much activity surrounding ICIAM 2011 (Vancouver, BC,
Canada from July 18 - 22, 2011) that it is difficult to know where to
start.

Most importantly, registration is now live
<http://www.iciam2011.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&i
d=43&Itemid=48
> ! (www.iciam2011.com/goto/registration) Early bird rates
will be available until February 28, 2011 so register soon. We have also
negotiated excellent rates suitable for any budget at hotels and hostels
in Vancouver. For more information please visit

All contributed minisymposia taking place at the Congress have been
confirmed. You can find the list on the ICIAM website
(http://tinyurl.com/25jdeux).

I would like to draw your attention to a number of travel subsidies
<http://www.iciam2011.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&i
d=33&Itemid=35
> (http://tinyurl.com/3y29h5c) available to young US
researchers, Canadian mathematical sciences students and participants
from developing nations. We encourage you to review these subsidies to
investigate your eligibility. In addition, Canada does require visas or
permits from individuals from many countries and the turnaround times
vary. Please visit this page
<http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/index.asp> (http://tinyurl.com/67uxjc)
on the Government of Canada website for complete information.

To compliment your time in Vancouver, we have worked with a local
company to create a series of excursions
<http://www.iciam2011.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&i
d=44&Itemid=49
> (http://tinyurl.com/2ezw5dv) for ICIAM delegates between
July 16 and 23rd. These include trips to Whistler and Victoria, tours of
the city and surrounding mountains, kayaking outings, museums and float
plan adventures. Do not miss out on these amazing opportunities.

Don't forget that the deadline for abstract submissions for minisymposia
and contributed speakers is December 15, 2010!

I would like to close by expressing our sadness at the passing of Prof.
Jerrold Marsden, co-Chair of the Scientific Program Committee for ICIAM
2011 and a member of the Steering Committee, who lost his battle with
cancer on September 21, 2010. Jerry's influence and imprint will be
strongly felt in the structure and scientific content of the Congress
and his enthusiasm and knowledge will be deeply missed by his colleagues
at ICIAM 2011.

We look forward to seeing you in Vancouver!

Arvind Gupta

President, ICIAM 2011
