Successful applicants: International Visitor Program 2022 Round 1 and Ukrainian Visitor Program
SMRI congratulates the following researchers in the mathematical sciences on their successful applications. There were 14 successful applicants in the International Visitor Program Round 1 (which closed in February 2022), as well as 3 successful applicants in the rolling Ukrainian Visitor Program.
As always, SMRI is grateful for the valuable contributions (financial and otherwise) made by the hosts listed below, both inside and outside our School. The selections were made by SMRI’s Scientific Advisory Committee.
The next IVP application round will open soon with a closing date in late July 2022, for visits taking place in late 2023/2024.
Visit information is up to date as of 10 May 2022, and dates shown are tentative. For current information, see the visitor list.
