PIMS Year in Review 2013

The year 2013 saw intense scientific activity at PIMS as well as a variety of notable achievements in education and outreach. In April we launched a Collaborative Research Group in Geometry and Physics, under the leadership of Charles Doran (UAlberta) and Jim Bryan (UBC). In November they organized a joint meeting with the Fields Institute on Hodge Theory in String Theory and in 2014 will have a Focus Period with a variety of large-scale activities in Edmonton and Vancouver.

The CRGs in Quantum Information Theory, Optimization and Applied Harmonic Analysis wrapped up this year, with a variety of thematic activities throughout Western Canada.
