    MICHAEL BRIN PRIZE IN DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS

    Professor Michael Brin of the University of Maryland has endowed an international prize for outstanding work in the theory of dynamical systems and related areas. The prize will be given for specific mathematical achievements that appear as a single or a series of publications in refereed journals, proceedings or monographs.

    The goal of the prize is to recognize mathematicians who have made substantial impact in the field at an early stage of their careers. Normally the recipients should be no more than twelve years from Ph.D.

    The prize includes an award of $15000. Expenses for the recipient's trip to the award ceremony will also be covered from the prize endowment fund.

    The prize will be awarded biennially by an international committee of experts. The inaugural committee includes the following members:


    Jean Bourgain, Institute for Advanced Studies, Princeton katok_a@math.psu.edu
    John N. Mather, Princeton University jnm@Math.Princeton.edu
    Yakov Pesin, Penn State University pesin@math.psu.edu
    Marina Ratner, University of California at Berkeley ratner@Math.Berkeley.edu
    Marcelo Viana, IMPA, Rio de Janeiro viana@impa.br
    Benjamin Weiss, Hebrew University of Jerusalem weiss@math.huji.ac.il

    Nominations for the prize will be made by committee members. The committee will seek informal input from the mathematical community concerning potential candidates for the prize.

    The first prize will be awarded in March 2008 at the Spring 2008 Maryland meeting of the semi-annual Workshop in Dynamical Systems and related topics dedicated to Professor Brin sixtieth birthday.

    Subsequent prizes will be awarded in the fall of each odd year starting form 2009. The venue for presentation of those awards has been fixed as the Fall Penn State meeting of the semi-annual Workshop in Dynamical Systems and related topics but it may change in the future. Award ceremony will include a one-hour lecture about the winner's work by a leading expert in the area. This lecture will be later published in Journal of Modern Dynamics.

    7. Dynamical Systems: Pure and applied Hamiltonian Dynamics
      June 16-20 2008
      Lisbon

      The Collab Mathematics Summer School is a yearly event that aims at bringing together Ph.D. students and junior faculty with well known experts in the several areas of mathematics.
      For this first summer school, will be held in the Mathematics Department of Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, from June 16-20, 2008. This year we have chosen the topic "Dynamical Systems" with particular emphasis on pure and applied Hamiltonian dynamics. The faculty for this school (B. Engquist, A. Fathi, R. de la Llave and Konstantin Khanin) are internationally known experts. We believe that their courses will be extremely useful for Ph.D. students, postdocs and established researchers who would like to broaden their knowledge in this very active area of research.
      More information and online registration are available from: http://math.utaustinportugal.org/summer08/
