Dear colleagues,
To come right to the point, the community devoted to the numerical solution of partial differential equations is not diverse. Most researchers are white males, and the majority of software packages in the area are developed by all-white all-male teams. We all lose out if we accept this state. An important piece in addressing this issue is building a *community* among those who do not look like the majority. As one step towards this, we will run the Computational Methods for PDEs Summer School Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO, USA August 3-9, 2019 https://dealii.org/pdeschool-2019/ This summer school is geared toward undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in the numerical solution of partial differential equations, primarily using the finite element method. While registration is open to everyone, we will give strong preference to female applicants and applicants from other minorities. The school will run August 3-5. It precedes the "Seventh deal.II Users' and Developers' workshop" which will be held August 6-9, 2019, also in Fort Collins, Colorado. Participants of the school will get an introduction to deal.II and will then participate in the deal.II workshop where they get to further build a network of peers. Registration: For workshop and registration information, see https://dealii.org/pdeschool-2019/ Deadline for registration: May 5, 2019. Participation is capped at around 30. Travel support: A limited amount of (domestic) travel support is available courtesy of the National Science Foundation, and will be given on a first come first serve basis, with preference to undergraduate and graduate students. If you need support, please state so in your registration.
