The inaugural Pacific Rim Mathematical Association (PRIMA) Congress will be held at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, on July 6-10, 2009. PRIMA is an association of mathematical sciences institutes, departments and societies from around the Pacific Rim, established in 2005 with the aim of promoting and facilitating the development of the mathematical sciences throughout the Pacific Rim region.

Three main lecturers will each give six 75-minute lectures:

Ander Holroyd: Matching coupling and point processes
Robin Pemantle: Probability from generating functions
Yuval Peres: Aspects of Markov chains

TThe themes of this Summer School and Workshop are analytical, numerical, and probabilistic issues related to dynamical properties of complex systems, with connection to natural and biological sciences. In addition to the particle systems underlying classical kinetic theory, examples of such systems that have been studied recently include statistical modeling of rapid granular flows, coalescence-breakage models for jet-bubble flows, mixtures undergoing chemical reactions, swarming behavior in social animals, traffic networks (e.g., vehicular traffic on highways, TCP traffic on the internet, traffic of goods on supply chains), and economic models related to information sharing in large populations, as well as applications to climate modeling via stochastic methods.

The Summer School will feature a series of five mini-courses, and is especially designed to prepare graduate students and young researchers to productively participate in the Workshop, and initiate a research program in these areas.

The core of the thematic programme will be the following six workshops. Two related workshops have already been approved to run at the Banff International Research Station (BIRS) during that period. A summer school with 12 mini-courses will be run in conjunction with the program: each workshop will have at least 2 mini-courses given by experts and which will be directed towards advanced graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Financial support will be made available to support interested and deserving applicants. Additional funding is being sought from the NSF, the Clay Institute, and the MITACS network. Graduate students support will also be coordinated with the institutions of the PRIMA network.

The structure of real reductive algebraic groups is controlled by a remarkably simple combinatorial framework, generalizing the presentation of Coxeter groups by generators and relations. This framework in turn makes much of the infinite-dimensional representation theory of such groups amenable to computation.

The Atlas of Lie Groups and Representations project is devoted to looking at representation theory from this computationally informed perspective. The group (particularly Fokko du Cloux and Marc van Leeuwen) has written computer software aimed at supporting research in the field, and at helping those who want to learn the subject.

The workshop will explore this point of view in lecture series aimed especially at graduate students and postdocs with only a modest background in representation theory.

Under the name "Equadiff" two series of important international conferences on differential equations have been organized in Eastern and Western Europe during the last decades. The tradition of the Czechoslovak Equadiff conferences dates back to 1962 when Equadiff 1 was organized in Prague. Subsequent conferences held in Bratislava (1966, 1981, 1993, 2005), Brno (1972, 1985, 1997), and Prague (1977, 1989, 2001). The most recent Western Equadiff conferences took place in Vienna (2007), Hasselt (2003), and Berlin (1999) .

The conference is devoted to all mathematical aspects of differential equations. The central themes are: ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, delay equations, stochastic differential equations, dynamical systems, numerical analysis, computation, and applications.

The Equadiff 12 conference will take place at Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic, in the period July 20-24, 2009, and is organized by: Faculty of Science, Masaryk University; Institute of Mathematics, the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic; The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication, Brno University of Technology; the Union of Czech Mathematicians and Physicist.

Registration deadline: May 15, 2009

The 21st International Conference on Formal Power Series and Algebraic Combinatorics (FPSAC'09) will take place in Hagenberg, Austria, at the Research Institute for Symbolic Computation (RISC) July 20-24, 2009. Topics include all aspects of combinatorics and their relations with other parts of mathematics, physics, computer science, and biology.

Conference Contents: Invited lectures, contributed presentations, poster session, and software demonstrations. As usual, there will be no parallel sessions.

The official languages of the conference are English and French.

The European Meetings of Statisticians are among main events for European and world statistics and probability. The meetings provide a natural forum for exchange of ideas and learning about the latest scientific developments. By principle the program is broad and appeals to researchers at any age and from all regions of Europe

Opening lecture, forum lecture and closing lecture:
Emmanuel Candes
Aad Van Der Vaart
Jeff Steif

Special invited speakers:
N. Gantert
T. Gneiting
I. Johnstone
G. Lugosi
A. Majda
P. Major
G. Molenberghs
T. Nichols

The conference will be devoted to recent advances in the representation theory of real reductive groups. Topics will include both classical open problems (like the classification of irreducible unitary representations) and newer questions (like the relationship between D-module constructions of representations and the orbit method). The conference follows a workshop (aimed particularly at graduate students and postdocs) entitled Computational Theory of Real Reductive Groups.
