Report of C18 to the Council
October 15-16, 2004-10-21
The
flagship conference of c18 (type A) is the International Congress in Mathematical
Physics. The last such congress took place in Lisbon in summer of 2003 and was
well attended by scientists from Europe, developing countries, the Americas and
Asia. The local organizer was Prof. Zambrini of Lisbon and there were women among
the plenary speakers. The Poincare prize was awarded at the conference. A bid
for the next ICMP was made by Prague and Rio, and a vote decided in favour of
Rio. The next ICMP will be held there in the summer of 2006. The conference on
group theory methods (type B) took place in Cocyoc, Mexico, summer 2004. The
meeting was successful and included women participants and participants from
developing countries. The local committee was headed by K. B. Wolf and encountered
some problems with the Mexican authorities regarding visas for individuals from
certain countries. A letter from the organizers regarding this will be forwarded
to IUPAP separately. -- J. Avron +972-4-8293853 office +972-4-8340545 home +972-4-8295755
