ricevo e inoltro: %%%%%%%%%%% Dear collegues, as many of you already know, the Hypatie Laboratory of Mathematical Sciences (LYSM) is in full activity since one year and a half, and keeps funding scientific collaborations between Italy and France, as well as conferences with an Italian-French character. The standard activities that we fund are short missions (one or two weeks) or conferences (either participation or organization). For details, please refer to the website https://www.lysm.eu/ For funding applications, please use the web forms available on the website. With this message, we would like to advertize a new opportunity, namely the possibility of applying for funding of EXTENDED MISSIONS (more than 1 month, up to one academic year) from Italy to France, or viceversa. The maximal funding per month offered by LYSM is in line with the cost of life in these two countries: for details, please contact the coordinators of the lab. In order to apply, please use the `Missions' form on the LYSM website. The deadline for applications of proposals for the next academic year, 2018/19, is SEPTEMBER 15, 2018 In your application, please explain in detail the scientific reasons of your long-term missions, the research project that you intend to work on and the expected output of the research, as well as the detailed financial plan. With best regards, Viviane Baladi, Dario Bambusi,Cinzia Bisi, Benoit Claudon, Adriana Garroni, Alessandro Giuliani, Daniele Guido, Massimiliano Mella, Thierry Paul, Pierre Picco, Alessandra Sarti, Stephane Vassout
