ICM98-CL16 (97/09/27): Financial support for mature mathematicians from developing countries

E-mail information service of the INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF MATHEMATICIANS Berlin, Germany, August 18 - 27, 1998 Sixteenth Circular Letter Subject: ICM98-CL16: Financial support for mature mathematicians from developing countries Dear colleague: The Organizing Committee of ICM'98 and the International Mathematical Union are aware of the fact that there are many mathematicians of high quality who are interested in attending ICM'98 but do not have the financial means for participation. IMU and the Organizing committee have reacted by setting up the traditional support program for young mathematicians from developing countries (see the circular letter ICM98-CL6) and, following the example of ICM'94, a support program for mathematicians from Eastern Europe (see ICM98-CL8 and ICM98-CL14). The Organizing Committe has received a number of requests from mature mathematicians (35 years and older) from developing countries, who are not eligible for support under the programs mentioned above, to help them attend ICM'98. To assist these colleagues, the Organizing Committee and IMU have approached sponsoring agencies. The success was limited, nevertheless, it is now possible to announce a support program offering financial help for (a few) active mature mathematicians from developing countries. Those interested in the program can find the details below. Sincerely Martin Groetschel President of the ICM'98 Organizing Committee ========================================================================== ICM'98 Committee for Support of Mathematicians from Developing Countries (short: CSMDC) APPLICATION FORM FOR GRANTS for Mature Mathematicians from the CSMDC Please find below the application form for mature mathematicians (older than 35 years of age at the occasion of the Congress) with residence in developing countries for grants to attend ICM98. The funds for financial support are very limited. To secure the participation of as many persons as possible, only local costs in Berlin (registration, board and lodging) will be supported. Travel grants can only be provided in exceptional cases. All mathematicians who would like to apply for financial support are kindly asked to fill out the application form below. DEADLINE (for the submission of applications): JANUARY 1, 1998 All applications will be reviewed and all applicants will be informed about the result immediately after MAY 1, 1998. Please fill out the form below and return it by E-MAIL to icmcsmdc@math.fu-berlin.de The SUBJECT LINE of the E-MAIL HEADER must have the following form Subject: ICM-CSMDC If e-mail is not available you can MAIL or FAX the form to the address at the end of the form. ========================================================================= CSMDC-application form for a grant for participation in ICM'98 I would like to apply for a grant for the participation in ICM'98, Berlin, August 18-27, 1998.
