About

The South Pacific Mathematics Exchange Seminar (SOUPAMES) aims to build a sense of community among mathematicians working in Australia and the Pacific, in connection with the French mathematical community. It is organised by the ANU-CNRS France Australia Mathematical Sciences and Interactions International Research Lab, and supported by the Australia-France Pacific Shared Knowledge Initiative. 

Schedule

SOUPAMES will involve the following activities:

• accessible short talks (15 minutes) by the participants, aiming to give everybody an idea of what the research of members of the community is about,
• specialised thematic group discussions (in three groups: 1. Algebra, 2. Analysis, 3. Statistics and Dynamics) involving in-depth informal research discussions between SOUPAMES participants and MSI staff members,
• time for small group (2-4 people) discussions to go even deeper into research questions,
• outreach talks presenting the research of members of the community to non mathematicians (including representatives of the French CNRS),
• A cultural tour of Black Mountain and discussions to give participants a sense of place in the region, cognisant of both French and British colonial history, while visiting the ANU on Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country,
• social activities to build connections.

Taking a long term view, the meeting will be particularly focused on early career researchers.
