Welcome

The 2018 Colloquium will be hosted by the University of Otago from Tuesday 4 December to Thursday 6 December, with a welcome reception and registration on the Monday evening, 3 December.

The annual Colloquium brings together the mathematical community of New Zealand while welcoming overseas visitors to join us.

Time will be dedicated to the discussion of all aspects of pure and applied mathematics and statistics. Talks will be given by internationally recognized leaders in the field and also by emerging researchers and postgraduate students.

The conference programme is now available.

NZMS Colloquium Code of Conduct

Our conference is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity or religion (or lack thereof). We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online media.

A participant who experiences harassment or hostile behaviour may contact the following representatives:

These representatives will be available in person and via e-mail. Be assured that if you approach them, your concerns will be kept in strict confidence and they will consult with you on any actions taken. In case of a formal complaint, they will speak to all parties involved to try to resolve the issue – without presupposition of guilt.

More details can be found here.

Plenary Speakers

Education Day

The Education Day is planned for Wednesday, December 5, and will include sessions of interest to mathematicians, mathematics teachers, and mathematics education researchers. In the morning we will run parallel sessions, for which we encourage you to submit a contributed talk, and in the afternoon we will run ‘Engaging with Educational Issues in Mathematics Unconference’ where we will discuss issues and strategies related to education depending on the interest of the attendees. The Education Day is organised by David Bryant (david.bryant AT otago.ac.nz) and Cami Sawyer (C.Sawyer AT massey.ac.nz).

The current draft programme can be found here.
