2023 Mathematics Summer Workshop for Iranian Students
July 30 - August 12, 2023, Simon Fraser University Burnaby Campus
This 2-week Summer Workshop will allow attendees to participate in seminars, workshops, and lectures hosted by a cross-section of mathematical researchers and educators from Western Canadian universities. They will also meet in small groups with mentors in the form of faculty, current graduate students, and university administrators well versed in admissions procedures. We will also allot supervised quasi-structured ‘study hall’ time for participants to work on the content that they have learned. Wednesday afternoons will be reserved for local excursions where participants can experience the non-academic side of British Columbia. There will also be social events on the weekends.
Planned Activities

Goals of this event
- to strengthen and build bridges between Western Canadian universities and Iranian mathematicians;
- to facilitate admissions to Western Canadian graduate school for young Iranian mathematicians currently experiencing severe disruption to their home and studies;
- to build relationships between potential graduate students and potential supervisors;
- to support the Iranian mathematicians currently at SFU that we care and want to tangibly support them;
- to build community within the SFU Math department as we work to make this urgent, necessary project a reality;
