Fellowships

This school is partly supported by CIMPA (Centre International de Mathematiques Pures et Appliquees). This is a French organization which has the vocation of helping the development of mathematical sciences in France and in developing countries. As a consequence we are happy to offer fifteen fellowships. These fellowships are intended for students, mathematicians or theoretical physicists who are at the post doctoral level or in the process of achieving a PhD.

Candidates should be either French citizens or nationals of developing countries. Because of the location of the conference, it is clear that we expect mostly candidates from Central or South America. We plan to distribute these fellowships as follows: five French students and ten students of other origin. There will be an -- approximately -- equal number of mathematicians and theoretical physicists.

The amount of each fellowship is 5500 FF. This covers two weeks of accommodation (double occupancy with breakfast) and the major part of the transportation costs (remember that the price of a round trip from the nearest South American cities is in the 2000 FF range).

We ask interested people to send an application and ask for at least two letters of recommendation to be transmitted to the directors of the school. Notice that the enclosed information concerning registration and payment does not apply for these students since fellowships are totally taken care of by the school.
