PIMS Network Wide Colloquium

PIMS 2025-2026 Network Wide Colloquium begins on Thursday September 25th with our first speaker, Fields Medalist Curtis McMullen. Four other speakers will round out this high profile network wide event.

PIMS-BIRS-Simons Travel Award

PIMS-BIRS-Simons Travel Award helps provides funding for researchers attending a BIRS 5-day (or longer) program to maximize the impact of their travel by visiting a PIMS site for collaboration.

PIMS Network Wide Courses

The PIMS Network Wide Courses programs helps share graduate level courses throughout the PIMS network. Registration for winter courses is now open. Application deadlines vary but begin in November.

The PIMS mandate is to promote excellent research and applications of the mathematical sciences, to facilitate the training of highly qualified personnel, to create an equitable, diverse and inclusive community in the mathematical sciences, to enrich public awareness of and education in mathematics and to create partnerships with similar organizations around the world.

A c-colouring of a combinatorial design is an assignment of colours, chosen from a set of size c, to the points of the design. A c-colouring is equitable if every block of size k contains ⌊k/c⌋ or ⌈k/c⌉ points of each colour. In 2016, Luther and Pike...

Stoichiometric principles provide a rigorous, law-based backbone for building mechanistic models that are robust and empirically testable through conservation and physiological constraints. In this talk, I will introduce stoichiometric models that...
