+title: Call for hosting ICMS 2026
+---
+
+The "International Congress of Mathematical Software" (ICMS) is a community of researchers and practitioners centered around "mathematical software" as a scientific activity.
+
+The first ICMS took place in Beijing, China in 2002, and its most recent edition took place this year in Durham, England.
+
+Now we are inviting applications for hosting ICMS 2026 as "Local Chair".
+
+Basic facts about ICMS are collected at:
+   https://icms-conference.org/
+Here are the most important points:
+* 4 day international conference, preferably in late July
+* should not clash with ICM 2026 (in fact, it is intended to apply for satellite meeting status)
+* typical number of participants: 150
+* few (i.e., 3-4) invited plenary talks
+* about 3 parallel sessions
+
+In terms of overall structure, the scientific program will be coordinated by the General Chair and the Program Committee Co-Chairs.  The General Chair will coordinate with the Local Chair.
+
+An application should include:
+* a short description of your institution
+* how to get there
+* accomodation
+* expected cost / average fee for participating (where lower is usually better, within reason)
+
+Please send your application, until 01 Sep 2024, in an email to
+
+* [Alicia Dickenstein](https://mate.dm.uba.ar/~alidick), Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina (general chair 2024)
+and
+* [Michael Joswig](https://www.math.tu-berlin.de/~joswig/), TU Berlin & MPI-MiS (general chair 2020)
