[DMANET] Call: HIM Spotlight Programs in Bonn (for summer 2027)

Dear all, the Hausdorff Research Institute for Mathematics (HIM), an institute of the Hausdorfff Center for Mathematics (HCM) at the University of Bonn, is inviting proposals for a new initiative starting in summer of 2027: HIM Spotlight Programs. A Spotlight Program brings together a group of 25-30 participants for an intensive working period of 2-4 weeks between 16. August and 10. September 2027 to collaborate on a specific focused topic in any area of mathematics or at the intersection to economics, computer science or the life sciences. Spotlight programs can include tutorials, working sessions, talks, reading groups or poster sessions. The group of participants should include a significant proportion of early career researchers and be assembled with an adequate consideration of gender-balance and international diversity. While some program participants will be invited by the program organizers, others will be recruited via an open call for participation. Spotlight Programs will be hosted at the HIM villa in Bonn that provides the group of researchers with office space, a seminar room, three smaller meeting rooms, and all the services and hospitality HIM usually offers to their guests. Participants will be offered fellowships, accommodation assistance and supporting arrangements for families. You can find out more details and about how to put together a proposal - due date July 15th, 2026 - on our webpage: https://www.mathematics.uni-bonn.de/him/proposals/proposals_spotlight_programs Kind regards, Stefan Hartmann Stefan Hartmann Science Communication / Outreach Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (HCM) Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn Endenicher Allee 62 53115 Bonn Phone: 0228/73-3138 www.hcm.uni-bonn.de ********************************************************** * * Contributions to be spread via DMANET are submitted to * * DMANET@zpr.uni-koeln.de * * Replies to a message carried on DMANET should NOT be * addressed to DMANET but to the original sender.
