Welcome to Rio de Janeiro – to the National Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IMPA), to participate in the VII National Symposium/Scientific Initiation Conference. Below, we present some information to make your stay at IMPA as pleasant as possible.
Inform the participants of the VII National Symposium/Scientific Initiation Conference
The event activities will take place at the National Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IMPA), between November 24th and 28th, 2014. The Institute is located in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro, near the Horto Florestal. It is a center of excellence in research and postgraduate studies in Mathematics. More information about IMPA can be found on its website: https://impa.br/.
Arrival in Rio de Janeiro:
From the airport (Galeão/AC Jobim or Santos Dumont) to IMPA (Estrada Dona Castorina, 110, Jardim Botânico), we suggest taking a metered taxi from the airport exit and giving the address of your hotel or IMPA. We also suggest printing the map from the IMPA website showing its location (https://impa.br/opencms/pt/institucional/localizacao.html).
IMPA's location:

Registration and Enrollment:
All participants must confirm their attendance at the Secretariat of the VII National Symposium/Scientific Initiation Conference (IMPA entrance hall) upon arrival. The Secretariat will be open on Monday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and on other days from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
Work presentations:
Papers presented at the Conference will be given orally or in poster format, according to the Scientific Committee's guidelines. Presentation guidelines for each are available on the website: https://impa.br/opencms/pt/eventos/extra/2012_jornadas/normas
Oral presentations: 16 of the approximately 80 papers at the event will be presented in 25-minute lectures, with up to five minutes for questions. It is important to ensure that your presentation does not exceed the allotted time. The presentation can be done on a blackboard or using electronic slides in .ppt (PowerPoint) or .pdf (Acrobat) format. In this case, please bring a computer (with a PC-compatible video adapter) or a USB drive with the presentation files.
Poster presentations: papers that will not be presented orally will be displayed in poster sessions. There will be seven poster sessions, each lasting one hour. Each paper will be presented in only one of these sessions, to be chosen by the event organizers.
