Close Parallels: NSF Announces U.S.-Canada Mathematics
Research Center
Media are invited to an announcement of a new U.S.-Canada
partnership to establish a mathematics research station
in Banff, Alberta. National Science Foundation Deputy
Director Joseph Bordogna will unveil a $1.27-million
NSF investment to support U.S. participation in the
project.
The Banff facility will provide a world-class venue
to form collaborations, advance research and share
information on developments in mathematics research
throughout North America. NSF's participation reflects
its pledge to increase federal investment in the fundamental
mathematical sciences, which underlie all science
and engineering discovery.
The announcement will be made jointly via teleconference
with Canadian officials in Banff and follows a symposium
earlier in the day at each location. The U.S. symposium
will highlight mathematical research on fuel cells,
contributions of math to other fields of science and
engineering, and mathematical technology.
