=============== PROPOSE A 2007 WORKSHOP AT BANFF ===============

The Banff International Research Station (BIRS) is now accepting
proposals for its 2007 program. Full information, guidelines, and
online forms are available at: http://www.pims.math.ca/birs The
deadline for proposals for 5-day Workshop and Summer School is OCTOBER
14, 2005.  Proposals for Research in Teams and Focused Research Groups
can be submitted any time at least 4 months before the requested start
date.

===================== ARCHIMEDES SOCIETY =======================

The Archimedes Society has been initiated to help MSRI diversify and plan
its future funding. Archimedes Society donor levels celebrate interesting
numbers. For example, the Cubic Donor level of $258 to $729 references a
number important to Plato - 729 - and a cube that is the sum of three cubes.
Donors at the Museion level ($5,041+) are invited to two dinner/lectures in
Berkeley and one in New York. To join the Archimedes Society, please go to
http://www.msri.org/alumdev/archimedes/index_html

MSRI would also welcome mention in your Will or Living Trust.

================= MSRI AT TEMPORARY FACILITY ===================

MSRI moved last July 2004 to our temporary headquarters during the
construction of the new building. We are now located at 2850 Telegraph
Avenue in Berkeley (about a mile South of the UCB campus). PLEASE NOTE: All
telephone numbers and MSRI's mailing address remain the same: 17 Gauss Way,
Berkeley, CA 94720-5070; main phone number is (510)642-0143. Deliveries,
however, should be sent to MSRI at 2850 Telegraph Ave., 6th Floor, Berkeley,
CA 94705. For more info, directions and map, please see

You can watch construction of the new addition through a "live" webcam at
the building site:
