Call for Long-Term Visitors
A key to the success of this program will be the long-term visitors that it attracts. Their research interests will shape many of the events that take place during the year and their participation in the program will attract many junior colleagues, postdocs and graduate students.
We are still considering applications from junior and senior researchers to visit the Fields Institute for a month or more, possibly spread out over several shorter visits, such as a couple of weeks around two or more workshops or one day each week for a term.
We would particularly welcome visitors for one or both terms of the year. We have some funds to support travel and local expenses for senior researchers, but not to pay their salaries. If you are interested in participating in the program, please e-mail Ken Jackson.
