The Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS) is accepting proposals for its 2023 program. The deadline for proposal submission is Wednesday, September 15, 2021.
In 2023, BIRS will again be hosting a 48-week scientific program at its station in Banff and at least 16 workshops at its affiliated station, Casa Matemática Oaxaca (CMO) in Mexico. In addition, 10 workshops are anticipated at the Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics (IASM) in Hangzhou, China and 12 will be held at BIRS’s new centre at UBC Okanagan in Kelowna.
BIRS provides an environment for creative interaction and the exchange of ideas and knowledge in the mathematical, statistical, and computing sciences, with a commitment to advancing research frontiers and facilitating connections between related disciplines and industrial sectors. BIRS and its affiliated facilities offer full accommodation, board, and research facilities at no cost to the invited in-person attendees.
Proposed programs should aim to connect with diverse mathematical communities, in particular those that are geographically close to the locations of the proposed program, and pay special attention to training and mentorship of junior researchers. Some workshops at BIRS Okanagan are expected to relate to statistics, data science, and artificial intelligence. Applicants are asked to take into consideration BIRS's commitment to increasing the participation of women and other underrepresented minorities in the mathematical sciences research and applications.
The deadline for 5-day Workshop, Summer Schools and Hybrid Thematic Program proposals is Wednesday, September 15, 2021

In addition, BIRS will operate its Research in Teams and Focused Research Group programs, which allow smaller groups of researchers to get together for up-to two weeks of uninterrupted work at the station. September 15, 2021, is also the preferred date to apply for these programs. However, proposals for projects involving Research in Teams or Focused Research Groups can be submitted at any time and are processed subject to availability. These proposals must be received at least 4 months before their requested start date.
All proposal submissions must be made using the online submission form at: https://proposals.birs.ca.
