		Banff International Research Station The Directors of PIMS and MSRI have presented a proposal establishing a research facility dedicated to innovation and discovery in the mathematical sciences. The Banff International Research Station (BIRS), with an Oberwolfach-style infrastructure, will attract mathematicians from Canada, the United States and around the world. The Fields Institute applauds the initiative of PIMS and MSRI. The creation of BIRS fill provide a research haven where leading mathematicians can come together to pursue research in a retreat-like atmosphere. The Fields Institute looks forward to working with MSRI and PIMS, along with other Canadian mathematical organizations, in the development of BIRS and its governance structure.
