About the SMS<\/h1><\/div>

Scientific and financial partners<\/strong>: The SMS is widely supported by the Canadian mathematical community as well as at the North American level. Institutional participants and sponsors of this endeavor are: the Centre de Recherche Mathematiques de Montreal<\/a> (CRM), the Fields Institute of Mathematical Sciences<\/a>, the\u00a0Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences (PIMS)<\/a>, the\u00a0Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI)<\/a>, the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath), the Institut de Sciences Mathematiques de Montreal (ISM)<\/a>, the\u00a0Department of mathematics and statistics of the University of Montreal (UdeM)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Governance<\/strong>: The main decisions concerning the school, such as the selection of the scientific subjects and organizing teams, are the responsibility of the SMS steering board. The board is appointed for a period of four years. The organizing teams are selected by the board on the basis of a call for applications. which is distributed widely in the mathematical community. It takes place about two years in advance of each event. An application contains mainly a scientific description of a particular theme as well as a list of proposed speakers.<\/p>\n

Selection of the students<\/strong>: The main criteria for the selection of students are their scientific qualifications. Participation of students from underrepresented groups is encouraged. Accepted students will generally receive full support, covering local accommodation for the duration of the school at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al student housing. In many cases, partial or full travel support will also be provided on a competitive basis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
