The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) is pleased to announce the renewal of its funding by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) for the period 2014-19. PIMS will receive a total of $6.25 million over that period, to fund its multiple scientific, training and industrial activities throughout Western Canada, which include the support of conferences, workshops and lecture series, funding Collaborative Research Groups and hosting postdoctoral fellows and distinguished visitors. This funding will also provide dedicated support for the Canadian Statistical Sciences Institute (CANSSI), the Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences (AARMS) and the establishment of a national institute innovation platform in the mathematical sciences. The amount awarded represents an approximate 14% increase in NSERC funding for PIMS over the next five years, recognizing the excellence of our activities in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Washington State.
