LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Letter from the President

چکیده
I have just come back from attending ECMI 2002 in Latvia. About 150 people took part in the conference which was held in the delightful resort town of Jurmala, about 20km south of Riga. The invited speakers covered a wide range of topics and all gave interesting talks as did the minisymposium speakers and the other contributors. The participants enjoyed the weather and surroundings in Jurmala and the warm welcome offered by the Latvians. Especial thanks go to Professor Andris Buikis for his hard work as Chairman of the local organizing committee. Although much of the work described at ECMI 2002 was inspired by industrial problems it proved difficult to attract industrial participants to this conference a disadvantage that we hope will be remedied at the next ECMI conference which will be held in Eindhoven from June 21-25 2004. The Scientific Committee has already been set up for this meeting; it will be chaired by Professor Bob Mattheij who has been a supporter of ECMI for many years. Further details will be available in the next issue of the Newsletter. On the subject of conferences I would like to draw your attention to ICIAM 2003 which will be held in Sydney Australia from July 7-11 next year. This vast international meeting will have a special industry day when we hope to organize a series of minisymposia from ECMI. If you are going to ICIAM and would be willing to take part in an ECMI minisymposium please contact me as soon as possible. In the summer the European Commission called for Expressions of Interest for Integrated Programmes and Networks of Excellence as a prelude to formulating the final calls for proposals for the 6th Framework Programme. ECMI seems a natural basis from which to launch a network in Mathematics for Industry and an Expression of Interest was submitted under the title ’Multidisciplinary Simulation in Industry and Commerce’ (MUSIC). It remains to be seen whether Brussels will construct the ’Calls for Proposals’ in a way that allows a network in mathematics but if any ECMI institutional members are interested in being involved in such an application please contact me soon.
