ICM98-CL8: Financial support for mathematicians from Eastern Europe

TO ALL MATHEMATICIANS WHO HAVE PRELIMINARILY PREREGISTERED FOR 
THE INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF MATHEMATICIANS 1998 IN BERLIN

Eighth Circular Letter, October 12, 1996

Subject: ICM98-CL8: Financial support for mathematicians from
                    Eastern Europe and the independent states 
                    of the former Soviet Union

The ICM'98 Organizing Committee has already received quite a number
of requests concerning financial support for participation at the
International Congress of Mathematicians 1998 in Berlin. The Circular 
Letter ICM98-CL6 describes the way how mathematicians from developing 
countries can apply for financial help. The local Organizing 
Committee is currently making efforts to obtain donations from German 
industry, government, foundations and individuals to be able to 
partially support mathematicians from Eastern Europe and the 
independent states of the former Soviet Union.

To secure participation of as many persons as possible the local 
Organizing Committee will only support local costs in Berlin. Berlin
is very close to Eastern Europe, and it is expected that applicants
will find other means to cover their travel costs. 

To handle the applications and manage the financial support the 
ICM'98 Organizing Committee has set up a subcommittee, called 

Committee for Support of Mathematicians from Eastern Europe (CSMEE). 

CSMEE will distribute application forms for grants, as described 
above, for mathematicians from Eastern Europe in late summer 1997. 
These forms will be made available through the ICM'98 server 
(http://elib.zib.de/ICM98) and by e-mail. 

Applicants will be asked to provide a brief curriculum vitae 
(including academic education, degree, professional employment,
and a list of publications). 

Applicants should submit their application form before 
January 1, 1998 to CSMEE to one of the following addresses:


Prof. Dr. H. Kurke               Prof. Dr. W. Roemisch
Humboldt-Universitaet            Humboldt-Universitaet
Institut fuer Mathematik         Institut fuer Mathematik
Ziegelstrasse 13A                Unter den Linden 6
D-10099 Berlin                   D-10099 Berlin
Germany                          Germany

e-mail: 
kurke@mathematik.hu-berlin.de    romisch@mathematik.hu-berlin.de

All applications will be reviewed.

Further questions concerning financial support for mathematicians
from Eastern Europe to attend ICM'98 should be directed to 
Professors Kurke or Roemisch.

Sincerely


Martin Groetschel
President of the 
ICM98 Organizing Committee
