The core of the thematic programme will be the following six workshops. Two related workshops have already been approved to run at the Banff International Research Station (BIRS) during that period. A summer school with 12 mini-courses will be run in conjunction with the program: each workshop will have at least 2 mini-courses given by experts and which will be directed towards advanced graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Financial support will be made available to support interested and deserving applicants. Additional funding is being sought from the NSF, the Clay Institute, and the MITACS network. Graduate students support will also be coordinated with the institutions of the PRIMA network.
Some funding is available to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who will be attending at least six of the mini-courses offered at the summer school. Support includes funds for local expenses and accommodation, and if possible, travel expenses. Applicants for funding should arrange for one recommendation letter to be sent electronically to Prof. Stephen Gustafson (gustaf@math.ubc.ca), and should indicate which workshops they are planning to attend. The deadline for applications for funding is March 15, 2009.
