The sponsorship of conferences is one of the major institutional activities of the Center for Nonlinear Studies. Since the CNLS serves as an interface between mission critical research at LANL and the outside research community, conference sponsorship is an activity of vital importance for the Center and the Laboratory.

In particular, sponsorship of conferences accomplishes the following:

• It enables the CNLS to identify and explore the widest possible range of nonlinear and complex systems problems.
• It helps disseminate the latest developments in nonlinear and complex systems science.
• It helps form and fosters research collaborations between LANL researchers and outside researchers and academia.
• It helps build new areas of research and refine the direction of existing areas of research.

To learn more about obtaining conference sponsorship through CNLS, please visit our Conference Sponsorship page.
