As a sponsor of the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (formerly MSRI), AARMS is able to offer the following limited funding opportunities to faculty and students at universities in Atlantic Canada:

Graduate Summer Schools 2025

The Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute will cover local expenses and partial travel expenses for up to 4 students from AARMS member universities to attend one of its Graduate Summer Schools (see the  Summer School flyer, or consult the listing below for more details). The rate for travel reimbursement is up to USD $600 for students from Canadian universities. 

If you make an application, it is also required that your supervisor should send a brief email to David Langstroth (dll@cs.dal.ca) confirming that they have discussed with you your application to attend an SLMath summer school and that they support your application as being relevant to your studies/research.

Please only apply if you are serious about attending.  Although you are permitted to cancel your attendance later, we ask that you notify AARMS as soon as possible if you intend to cancel, as it may be possible to offer the place to another student.

The deadline for receiving applications and supporting emails is November 26, 2024.

Visits by SL Math Members

AARMS can invite SL Math members to visit and give a colloquium or seminar talk at universities in Atlantic Canada. SL Math provides partial support for the member’s visit (at present, up to USD $250). If you would like us to invite one of these members to your university please contact the AARMS Director. The list of SL Math members that may be available to visit is found here:  Directory of SL Math Members

Travel Support for Attending BIRS Conferences and Workshops

SLMath will provide partial travel funding (up to a maximum of $750) for postdoc or ladder faculty members of Academic Sponsor Institutions to attend workshops at the Banff International Research Station (BIRS) and Casa Matemática Oaxaca (CMO). Funding is limited to US Citizens or Permanent Residents who are recommended by the organizer of the workshop. Please contact the SLMath Program Manager for further restrictions, at coord@slmath.org
