The 2021 ICIAM Board Meeting

The ICIAM Board met online on October 30, 2021. The meeting was supposed to be held in Tokyo, but moved to an online format due to the uncertainty of travel restrictions. Over 60 participants from around the world engaged on a range of business items. The Board voted that the ICIAM dues for 2022 remain unchanged from 2021, and that payment of the 2022 dues is voluntary to reflect a possible loss of income that members may have suffered due to COVID19.

Two new members were welcomed into the ICIAM family: the Hong Kong Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (HKSIAM) as new medium-sized...

ICIAM Secretary's Message: "Minutes of the 2020 Board Meeting and Call for Ideas"

Dear Presidents and Representatives of ICIAM Societies,

We hope this email finds you well and healthy.

We have two requests before the end of 2020:

ICIAM supports conferences in developing countries in the years when no ICIAM congress is held. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the funds earmarked for this purpose are currently not being used. ICIAM is therefore looking for ideas on how ICIAM could support activities in developing countries in the current situation. Please send suggestions to treasurer [at] iciam.org (treasurer[at]iciam[dot]org), secretary [at] iciam.org (secretary[at]iciam[dot]org), and president [at] iciam.org (president[at]iciam[dot]org).

Professor Maria Esteban. Often ISC members are asked to propose names or answer surveys or

propose ideas about topics suggested by the ISC. The ISC committee tries to do it, but often it does not...
