Proposal for Summer Program - Guidelines

A summer program, typically running two to four weeks and involving between 60 and 120 participants. Summer programs are usually built around one topical area, and may involve several subtopics. Summer program proposals should be submitted around two years in advance of the proposed program.

The preproposal should contain

  1. title of program
  2. names and affiliation of organizers
  3. program vision and structure (about 2 pages)
  4. list of key visitors with affiliations (10-50)
  5. references or links to relevant supporting material
  6. discussion of related programs at the IMA and elsewhere

The organizers must have agreed to be involved in the organization of a summer program. The program vision should provide a compelling argument for the impact such a program will have in mathematical sciences and the application areas the program seeks to address. Please also consult the list of past, current, and future programs and relate your proposal to and differentiate it from other IMA activities.

The IMA is committed to actively seeking diversity among its participants in both gender and ethnicity. The list of participants should reflect these priorities. Members of underrepresented groups should be flagged in the participant list.

Preproposals should be submitted (electronic only) to the director

Douglas N. Arnold, 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.
