Contribute your Program Ideas

The primary mission of the IMA is to foster research of a truly interdisciplinary nature, establishing links between mathematics of the highest caliber and important scientific and technological problems from other disciplines and industry. To advance its mission, the IMA carries out annual programs, summer programs, and hot topics workshops among other activities. The IMA continually asks members of the mathematical sciences community for their ideas for future programs. This community includes—in addition to mathematicians—industrial scientists, scientists in government labs, university scientists, engineers, etc., whose work brings them in contact with problems involving mathematical challenges at all levels.

Please contact the IMA with your suggestions for future programs. You can find information on the proposal format at:

Members of participating institutions can organize Graduate Student Summer Programs and IMA Participating Institutions Conferences. Information on proposal format can be found at

Although a major part of the IMA's resources is devoted to these activities, the IMA is open to other formats. Also, suggestions for additional workshops or tutorials in future annual programs are welcome, even though workshops already planned as part of the program have priority. Please contact the director
