The Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute
The Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath), formerly known as MSRI, is a landmark of US and world collaborative mathematical research. Over 1,700 mathematical scientists spend time at SLMath’s Berkeley, California headquarters each year. It is a place where breakthroughs are made, research areas are created, and brilliant careers are launched. SLMath education and outreach programs and film production for public television reach millions worldwide. The Institute has been supported since its origins by the National Science Foundation, joined by other government agencies, private foundations, corporations, individual donors, and over 100 academic institutions.
