Registration and Funding

A number of participants will receive funding in the form of accommodation for the duration of the school. The deadline for requesting financial support was 2025-12-15. We expect to inform applicants in late January. Applications for funding should be submitted through mathjobs, and include a CV with publication list, one reference letter, and a short cover letter stating your interest in the summer school. Late applicants will be added to the waiting list.

Registration for the school itself will be through PIMS, starting in February. There is a registration fee of $150 (CAD) to cover partly the cost of coffee breaks and excursions.

Separately from the above, participants from SLMath sponsor schools (mostly but not only in the US) should also apply for funding from SLMath.

Some participants will have a chance to give a short presentation on their research. A call for proposals will be sent some at a later date. This does not affect registration.
