Call for Mini Courses
The Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) welcomes and invites proposals for mini-courses for the CMS Winter Meeting in Vancouver from November 29 – December 2, 2024.
Since 2019, the CMS meeting program has included a limited number of three-hour mini-courses with the following objectives:
-
Initiating attendees to the subject of a novel scientific session, so as to broaden the scope of its audience and appeal; or
-
Introducing attendees to a cutting-edge area of pure or applied mathematics, for both research and professional interests; or
-
Providing professional development opportunities and advice, particularly for graduate students and new PhDs.
The CMS Winter Meeting mini-courses will be held Friday, November 29. Attendees will be charged a small registration fee.
​
All proposed sessions should be in line with the CMS Code of Conduct.
