Workshop on Mathematical Challenges for Sustainability

November 15 - 17, 2010
DIMACS Center, CoRE Building, Rutgers University

Organizers:

Alejandro Adem, Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS)

Russell Caflisch, Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM)

Lou Gross, National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBios)

Iain Johnston, Chair of MPS Advisory Committee to NSF

Simon Levin, coAuthor of Toward a Science of Sustainability

Fred Roberts, the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS)

Christiane Rousseau, Centre de Recherches Mathematique (CRM) and Chair of program Mathematics of Planet Earth, a joint program of 14 North American mathematical sciences institutes)

Richard Smith, Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI)

The project is a joint activity of six mathematical sciences research institutes, four in the US and two in Canada, namely IPAM (Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics), NIMBios (National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis), SAMSI (Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute) and DIMACS (the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science) in the US and CRM (Centre de Recherches Mathematiques) and PIMS (Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences) in Canada.

• Important Reimbursement Information

  Attendees who have been offered support should keep two rules in mind. Reimbursement for air travel can only be made for travel on US Flag Carriers, REGARDLESS OF COST. (For example, travel on airlines such as United, Continental, USAir, and others that are United States based are allowable. Travel on airlines such as Lufthansa, SAS, Air Canada and other airlines based outside the US cannot be reimbursed by DIMACS.)

  The second rule to keep in mind is to get original receipts for all reimbursable expenses.

• If you're coming from abroad, check the latest visa requirements (they are changing all the time) and get an early start on obtaining a visa.
