Call for hosting ICMS 2028
The “International Congress of Mathematical Software” (ICMS) is a community of researchers and practitioners centered around “mathematical software” as a scientific activity.
The first ICMS took place in Beijing, China in 2002, and its most recent edition took place this year in Waterloo, Canada. For the history and further details, see the ICMS web page.
Now we are inviting applications for hosting ICMS 2028 as “Local Chair”.
Here are the most important points:
- four-day international conference, preferably in late July
- should not clash with other related conferences
- typical number of participants: 150
- few (i.e., 3-4) invited plenary talks
- about 3-5 parallel sessions
In terms of overall structure, the scientific program will be coordinated by the General Chair and the Program Committee Co-Chairs. The General Chair will coordinate with the Local Chair.
An application should include a short description of:
- your institution and the potential venue
- how to get there
- potential accommodation
- expected cost / average fee for participating (where lower is usually better, within reason)
- potential dates (more than one would be better)
Please send questions or your application by October 15, 2026, by email to both:
- Alicia Dickenstein, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina (General Chair 2024), and
- Bernard Mourrain, INRIA, France (General Chair 2026).
