Kia ora koutou, I hope the weather is not adversely affecting you and you are avoiding the seasonal colds and flu.
APORS has asked for nominations to 3 special interest groups:
- Public Heath Emergencies – this group will be meeting with the World Health Organisation’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) soon;
- Optimisation;
- Youth Activity.
These groups are envisaged to work like SIAM activity groups:
“SIAM Activity Groups provide an intellectual forum for SIAM members interested in exploring a particular area of applied mathematics, computational science, or cross-disciplinary application. The subject of the SIAM Activity Group should be of current importance, broad enough to generate significant participation, yet focused enough to assure that the Activity Group’s goals are achieved.” – from https://www.siam.org/membership/activity-groups/related/start-an-activity-group.
This is a good opportunity for those looking to engage with global communities of researchers. If you would like to be nominated please email me by the end of day on August 12, 2022, at

If I get a lot of nominations then I will run a selection process.
Noho ora mai, Mike (ORSNZ President)
