Welcome
We are organising a one-off 3-day symposium on Mathematical and Computational Nanoscience to be held at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand on December 9-11, 2007. This symposium is aimed at mathematicians and theoretical or computational scientists interested in nanoscale science and technology. As such we are seeking contributions to the symposium concerning the development and application of modelling and simulation techniques to nanoscale phenomena. This meeting is timed to immediately precede the Joint Meeting of the American Mathematics Society and the New Zealand Mathematics Society to be held in Wellington from December 12-15.
We are hoping for 60-70 attendees with approximately 6 plenary talks, 6 invited talks and 24 contributed talks over the three days. We will also be accepting poster presentations.
Important Dates
Workshop held: Sunday 9 December - Tuesday 11 December 2007
Abstract submission closes: Friday 12 October 2007
Financial assistance applications close: Friday 12 October 2007
Registration
Registration is free but prompt registration is greatly appreciated.
We are able to offer some
financial assistance for researchers outside of Wellington.
