Advanced Courses

Guidelines

The CRM aims to maintain a yearly series of Advanced Courses at postgraduate or doctoral level, focusing on recent developments in any area of mathematics or in other disciplines where high-level mathematical methods are used.

Calendar and Format

Events in this series will normally have a duration of one week (ten days for extended ones), and will consist of up to five series of lectures of 8 to 10 hours each on well-defined subtopics, given by leading experts in the field. Lectures may be complemented with practical training sessions, discussion of exercises or research problems, and other activities.

CRM Resources

The CRM has a fully-equipped auditorium with a capacity of 100 people, and three additional lecture rooms for 25 people. There is also suitable space for coffee breaks, internet access, and a meeting room. The Bellaterra campus offers hotel rooms and apartment rental service for participants, subject to availability.

Funding from the CRM can cover accommodation, travel expenses and honoraries of lecturers, as well as a number of grants and possibly other costs, upon negotiation with the proposers and assessment of cofinancing possibilities.

A registration fee will be set by the CRM for each event.

Publication of Lecture Notes

Properly written lecture notes can be submitted for publication in the series entitled Advanced Courses in Mathematics CRM Barcelona, which has been published by Birkhäuser since 2001. Early preparation of such volumes is strongly encouraged.

Submission of Proposals

Proposals should be submitted by sending the requested information (click here for details) to the CRM using the e-mail address crmcalls@crm.cat, normally at least 12 months before the starting date of the course. Proposals will be reviewed by the CRM Scientific Advisory Board, and decisions will be taken in June and December of each year. If necessary, proposers may contact the CRM Secretariat for assistance in the preparation of proposals.
