[DMANET] 3rd Creative Mathematical Sciences Communication

3rd CREATIVE MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES COMMUNICATION CONFERENCE (CMSC)
4 - 7 October 2016, Luebeck, Germany

http://www.tcs.uni-luebeck.de/cmsc

Explore new ways of popularizing the rich mathematics underlying
computer
science including outdoor activities, art, dance, drama and all forms of
storytelling. This is CSUnplugged (www.csunplugged.org) and Beyond.

Challenge yourself to communicate our research culture to young people
and you will inevitably confront fresh
mathematical questions that will renew your own research, and your
field. The creative dynamic is bi-directional.

This conference series explores new ways of helping students to achieve
21st Century competencies in mathematics and computer science. The
previous
conferences, held in Darwin, Australia in 2013 and in Chennai, India
in 2014 (Videos from 2014) saw a unique interaction between computer
science / mathematics researchers and educators and artists (theatre,
dance, graphic arts).

Everyone interested in innovative ways to teach / popularize
algorithmics
and its foundations is welcome. We encourage you to present your own
efforts and discuss new ideas. Presentations and demonstrations welcome,
also ideas for leading round-table discussions.

Important dates:

Abstracts due: 10 June 2016
Submissions due: 8 July 2016
Early Registration: 15 August 2016
Conference: 4-7 October 2016
