AARMS to Move to a New Online Proposal System
From October 1, 2016 our current online proposal system will cease operating. On that date we will be moving to a new system with a new service provider. The new system will facilitate the submission of proposals for conferences and workshops, Collaborative Research Groups and Postdoctoral Fellowship awards. Those of you with accounts on the old system this will need to open a new account on the new system – thank you in advance for your patience. Exact details will be posted here when the new system is up and running. Thank you also to Petrus IT who provided our service for the past several years.
A Message from Canada’s Mathematical Sciences Institutes for Canada’s Fundamental Science Review
The Mathematical Sciences are the foundation of any advanced research ecosystem, and Canada’s mathematical sciences institutes have been instrumental in supporting this ecosystem. They do so by providing scientific leadership, by developing coherent national strategies for mathematical and statistical discovery and innovation, by transcending geographic and disciplinary barriers, by maximizing provincial leveraging, by spearheading international partnerships, and by connecting the research enterprise with the imperatives of providing training and education at all levels.

About AARMS
AARMS was founded in March 1996 at a time when the National Network for Research in the Mathematical Sciences was being discussed and planned. AARMS exists to encourage and advance research in mathematics, statistics, computer science, and mathematical sciences, in the Atlantic region. In addition, AARMS acts as a regional voice in discussions of the mathematical sciences on a national level. Since its inception, AARMS has played an important role in research activities in the Atlantic region, sponsoring or co-sponsoring numerous meetings and workshops, collaborative research groups postdoctoral fellowships and mathematical outreach. Since the summer of 2002, AARMS has been running an annual Summer School for graduate students and promising undergraduates. Please write to us for information about the next AARMS Summer School.
AARMS is grateful the Province of New Brunswick, the Province of Nova Scotia and the Research & Development Corporation of Newfoundland and Labrador for their support for our activities. We are also grateful to Canada’s three mathematical institutes, the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques, the Fields Institute, and the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences as well as the member universities below.
