| 2025 March 10 ILAS-NET Message no. 2576 CONTRIBUTED ANNOUNCEMENT FROM: Daniel B. Szyld SUBJECT: Child care at ILAS Conferences A Reminder to the ILAS members. ILAS is providing grants to ILAS members who are parents of young children so as to make it easier to attend an ILAS Conference. The grants up to the amount of \$500 can be used to pay for childcare either at the conference city, or the home city of the ILAS member. In the latter case, it is for any additional childcare expenses incurred because the ILAS member is attending the conference. The grant can also be used to subsidize the travel of a person who would take care of the child during the conference. Applications need to be sent at least two months in advance of the conference dates indicating: * Name of the ILAS member * Name of the child/ren and their ages * Expected budget and type of expense * Applications can be sent directly to the ILAS President. The ILAS President will communicate the decision to each applicant no later than one month after the application is received. Reimbursements will be sent to the applicant after the applicant has attended the conference and once appropriate receipts for up to $500 have been submitted to the ILAS Secretary/Treasurer. ---- For the ILAS Conference in Kaohsiung, 23-27 June, 2025, the deadline for applications is April 23rd, 2025. ---- Other initiatives that ILAS has put into place include: * Aiming to have a break every two hours or so during the ILAS conferences to allow parents see their children if necessary. * Invited speakers with young children could stay in apartments and not necessarily in a hotel. * If the caretaker/companion is traveling with the parent, ILAS will facilitate free registration to the conference if such caretaker wishes to attend a few lectures. The ILAS President will aim to put in contact parents of young children in case they want to coordinate activities. Children will be welcomed at the coffee breaks, excursions, or other social activities. |

| 2025 February 13 ILAS-NET Message no. 2573 CONTRIBUTED ANNOUNCEMENT FROM: Daniel B. Szyld SUBJECT: Oscar Rojo (1938-2025) Dear ILAS colleagues and friends, It with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Oscar Rojo on February 7th, after a battle with an aggressive cancer over the last six months. It can be said that Professor Rojo, whose career was mostly at the Universidad Catolica del Norte in Antofagasta, was responsible for the establishment and growth of Linear Algebra research in Chile. His students and colleagues who continue this tradition, are the embodiment of Rojo's legacy. Beyond Chile, many of Rojo's papers have had a considerable impact in the profession, especially in areas related to graphs and matrices and their spectra. We mourn the loss of a good and influential colleague. |

| 2025 January 13 ILAS-NET Message no. 2569 CONTRIBUTED ANNOUNCEMENT FROM: Daniel B. Szyld SUBJECT: ILAS Lectures at Non-ILAS Conferences and General Support of Non-ILAS Conferences and Seminars As part of ILAS's commitment to supporting activities in Linear Algebra, the Society maintains a program of providing some support to non-ILAS conferences. This financial support may take one of two forms (a conference may apply for only one of these two forms). ILAS Lectureships at non-ILAS conferences. It is expected that ILAS lecturers will be of the stature of plenary speakers at ILAS conferences and may be supported by up to US$1250 for expenses, or in the case of a Hans Schneider Lecturer, US$1500. Reimbursement guidelines may be obtained from the Secretary/Treasurer. General support of conferences of up to $1000. Such support could be used for support of student expenses, expenses for participants from developing countries, or plenary speakers. Refreshment costs are not eligible. You are welcome to consult the President of ILAS about what you may propose. This is a reminder that there is a deadline of 30 September 2025 for receipt of proposals for sponsorship of ILAS Lectures at non-ILAS meetings and for general support of conferences taking place in 2026. Please note that we will not be able to consider applications submitted after the deadline as it is important to rank all applications in one go. Each proposal is automatically assumed to be also a request for the ILAS endorsement of the conference. A statement whether the conference will adhere to the ILAS Welcoming and Inclusiveness Statement should be included in the proposal (and appropriate statement in the conference website). Further details on the guidelines for proposals can be found at the following link: https://ilasic.org/non-ilas-guidelines/ In addition, ILAS may endorse a Non-ILAS conference, without financial support. Such endorsed meetings can list ILAS' endorsement on their website, and in turn, the conferences are listed on the website of ILAS-Endorsed Meetings: https://ilasic.org/conferences/#ilas-endorsed-meetings |
