Call for Nominations: 2024/25 PIMS Network-Wide Colloquium Series

Call for proposals

PIMS will continue to sponsor the network-wide colloquium series for the 2024-2025 academic year. High-quality colloquia by distinguished speakers will be given on a monthly basis (likely delivered virtually) for an audience spread across the 10 PIMS member universities. Suggestions for speakers are now being considered by the PIMS Colloquium Committee, and should be sent to Anthony Quas (aquas@uvic.ca).

These will be evaluated based on: distinction of speakerequity, diversity and inclusivity considerationsbreadth of topics in the series; and suitability for a colloquium-style lecture.

A proposal should include:
  • A brief biography or CV (1-2 pages) of the proposed speaker [this item can be replaced by a web link to a page providing similar information]
  • A statement, if applicable, giving details of ways in which this nominee would contribute to PIMS' goals of promoting under-represented groups in mathematics
  • If possible, a statement addressing the proposed speaker's ability to give a broadly accessible engaging talk

It is not necessary to contact the proposed speaker in advance of submitting the nomination.
