Inaugurated in 2003, the Banff International Research Station (BIRS) hasdeveloped, through a unique scientific partnership between the UnitedStates and Canada, into a tremendous resource for the world's scientificcommunity. In 2006, the two countries will be joined by Mexico to makeBIRS the premiere research center for mathematical sciences in NorthAmerica.Starting in 2006, BIRS will host an expanded schedule of weeklyworkshops, pursuing an extremely broad program, embracing all aspects ofthe mathematical sciences, from the most fundamental work on the greatproblems of algebra, geometry and analysis to modern pure and appliedmathematics, theoretical and applied statistics, financial and industrialmathematics, the mathematics of information technology and computerscience, bio-mathematics and math education. BIRS provides an environmentthat optimizes creative interaction and the exchange of ideas, knowledge andmethods within the mathematical sciences and with related sciences andindustry. Recent PhD's and graduate students as well as members ofunderrepresented groups are especially encouraged to organize andparticipate in BIRS activities.BIRS is administered by the Pacific Institute for the MathematicalSciences (PIMS) with the support of the Berkeley-based MathematicalSciences Research Institute (MSRI), the MITACS Network of Centres ofExcellence, as well as the Instituto de Matematicas at the NationalUniversity of Mexico (UNAM). The BIRS scientific program is developed byan independent Scientific Advisory Board consisting of thirty of the mosteminent mathematical scientists in the world.

班夫国际研究站（BIRS）于2003年落成，通过美国和加拿大之间独特的科学伙伴关系，已发展成为世界科学界的巨大资源。2006年，墨西哥将加入这两个国家的行列，使BIRS成为北美数学科学的首要研究中心。从2006年开始，BIRS将主办一个扩大的每周讲习班计划，追求一个极其广泛的计划，包括数学科学的各个方面，从代数、几何和分析等重大问题的最基本工作到现代纯数学和应用数学，理论和应用统计学、金融和工业数学、信息技术和计算机科学数学、生物数学和数学教育。BIRS提供了一个环境，优化创造性的互动和交流的想法，知识和方法在数学科学和相关的科学和工业。最近的博士和研究生以及underrepresented组的成员特别鼓励组织和参与BIRS活动。BIRS是由太平洋研究所的数学科学（PIMS）与伯克利的数学科学研究所（MSRI），卓越中心的MITACS网络的支持下管理，以及在墨西哥国立大学（UNAM）的数学研究所。BIRS科学计划由一个独立的科学顾问委员会开发，该委员会由30位世界上最着名的数学科学家组成。
