Program & Event Information

ICERM encourages proposals for programs that support its mission to foster and broaden the relationship between mathematics and computation. We welcome your ideas for semester programs, topical workshops, early career researcher IdeaLabs, and our Summer@ICERM undergraduate research programs. How to propose an Program or Workshop.

Semester Programs

A large part of ICERM's activities take place in the context of semester long thematic programs together with their associated workshops. Each such program hosts a number of long-term visitors (5-10 senior personnel, 4-5 postdoctoral fellows, and 8 graduate students) in addition to workshop participants.

Summer Undergraduate Research Programs

ICERM hosts a summer undergraduate research program called "Summer@ICERM". 10 undergraduates are funded to come to ICERM for an eight-week intensive program taught by faculty. Brown University UTRA students and students with outside funding are welcome to apply as well.

Dates	Title	Organizers
Jun 17-Aug 9, 2013	Geometry and Dynamics	Sergei Tabachnikov, Chaim Goodman-Strauss

Idea Labs

Idea labs are selective one-week programs offered to twenty junior researchers. Idea labs facilitate new interdisciplinary research groups and connections through guided teamwork on a specific collection of open problems with a final presentation to a broader group of interested parties, including funding agency managers, industry partners, and representatives of National Laboratories.

Jul 15-19, 2013	IdeaLab features two topics: 1) Towards Efficient Homomorphic Encryption and 2) Tipping Points in Climate Systems	Henry Cohn, Jeffrey Hoffstein, Christopher K.R.T. Jones, Pamela Martin, Bjorn Sandstede, and Joseph H. Silverman

Special Events and Public Lectures

ICERM hosts on-site public lectures and special events and frequently participates in national mathematical events and conferences. Part of ICERM's mission is to promote themes of national interest: diversity in the sciences, the teaching of mathematics, the role of technology and computers in research and the classroom, and the contribution of modern mathematics to everything from biology and medicine, to commerce, to climate forecasting and environmental policy.
