IMA New Directions Program

We believe that mathematics is a field of almost unlimited opportunity—provided that it looks outward towards its interfaces with other fields.

— The Odom Report

The IMA is delighted to announce New Directions Research Professorships for 2008-2009 and the New Directions Short Course in summer 2008. These programs offer extraordinary opportunities for the established mathematicians to branch into new directions and increase the impact of their research.
