Students who wish to apply for financial assistance to attend the annual NZ Mathematics Colloquium should contact the organisers of the Colloquium, who are empowered to distribute funds on behalf of the NZMS. The 1997 NZ Mathematics Colloquium will be held at the University of Auckland in the week 7-11 July 1997. This Colloquium is a joint meeting with the Australian Mathematical Society.
Students who require assistance to attend other conferences should apply to the NZMS Council using the form which is printed at the back of issues of the NZMS Newsletter.
Ordinary members of the NZMS may apply for financial assistance with the costs of hosting mathematical visitors, organising conferences or workshops, attending conferences, and any other mathematical research-related activity. They too should apply to the NZMS Council using the form which is printed in the NZMS Newsletter.
A relatively high priority will be given to applications involving contact between the mathematical communities of New Zealand and the islands of the South Pacific.
The Council normally considers applications at its mid-year and end-of-year meetings each year, but applications may be considered at other times in exceptional circumstances. Completed application forms should be sent to the NZMS Secretary:
