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.

2010 - CALL FOR CONFERENCE PROPOSALS

Submission Deadline: October 30, 2009

The Center for Nonlinear Studies invites LANL scientists to submit proposals for CNLS sponsorship of research conferences to take place in 2010. We encourage applications that explore a wide range of nonlinear and complex systems problems. Preference will be given to applications that align with the following research goals of the Center for Nonlinear Studies. For more information please see our Conference Call. To submit a proposal, please use our web form.
