Organized by the new Center for Neural Dynamics at the University of Ottawa, the first Canadian Summer School in Computational Neuroscience, which will be held from Sunday June 17, 2007 until Friday June 29, 2007 inclusively.
The Encyclopedia of Dynamical Systems, hosted by Scholarpedia the free peer-reviewed encyclopedia, conducted an election of authors for the article "Bifurcation" with the goal to identify the best living expert to invite to write such an article.
In addition to 'Scholar' and 'Curator' Scholarpedia now solicits volunteers for the role of 'Editor'. Editors of Scholarpedia will be elected by the public based on their scholarly achievements and reputation in the field (using the same procedure as election of authors).
NSF Dear Colleague Letter
A "Dear Colleague Letter" has been issued by the National Science Foundation for proposal addressing crosscutting topics in theory and application of dynamical systems. It is sponsored jointly by the ENG/CMMI/Dynamical Systems and the MPS/DMS/Applied Mathematics program, with the intention to stimulate interest in special topics in Dynamical Systems.
