Proposal for Hot Topics Workshops - Guidelines

A hot topics workshop typically lasts a few days and treats a topic of exceptional contemporary interest and potential impact. Proposals should be sent at least six months in advance, and cosponsorship by an industrial partner, funding agency, or institution is generally expected.

The proposal should contain

1. title of workshop
2. names and affiliation of organizers
3. description of workshop topic (less than 2 pages)
4. list of 10 suggested visitors with affiliations
5. reference or links to relevant supporting material

The organizers must have agreed to be involved in the organization. Please consult the list of past, current, and future programs and relate your proposal to and differentiate it from other IMA activities. You may also provide references to other, non-IMA activities in the field in order to substantiate the timeliness of your proposal.

The IMA is committed to actively seeking diversity among its participants in both gender and ethnicity. It is expected that the list of participants reflects these priorities.

Proposals should be submitted (electronic only) to the director

Fadil Santosa, Director
director@ima.umn.edu
Institute for Mathematics and its Applications
University of Minnesota

Submissions will be evaluated by the IMA advisory boards and outside experts.
