The governments of Alberta, Canada and the United States are set to announce a new international mathematical research facility in Banff, Alberta that will annually host thousands of top international scientists and researchers. This joint venture is spearheaded in Canada by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences and in the US by the Berkeley-based Mathematical Sciences Research Institute. The facility will also profit from the active participation of the Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems Network of Centres of Excellence. This marks the first time Canada and the United States have jointly collaborated on such a research facility.
