From Anton Leykin:

We would like to announce the upcoming workshop: SageMath and Macaulay2 – An Open Source Initiative, to be held at the IMA in Minneapolis on July 22-26, 2019.
This meeting will bring together developers from the Macaulay2 and Sage communities to discuss, design, and implement new algorithms and computational tools that will be of use to scientists and industry professionals. All software developed during the workshop will be made freely available as part of the open-source mathematics software systems Macaulay2 and SageMath. Themes of the workshop include algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, representation theory, combinatorics, and optimization. The workshop will include talks on target features and the logistics of Macaulay2 and Sage development, as well as working groups on a variety of participant-driven themes.
If you are interested in participating, please fill out the Program Application available at the top of the page here: https://www.ima.umn.edu/2018-2019/SW7.22-26.19/# Funding preference will be given to graduate students and early career researchers. The deadline to be considered for funding is Friday, May 3.
In your personal statement, please indicate your interest in participating in any of the coding projects listed here (https://wiki.sagemath.org/days99) and/or propose your own project for others to join.

The second edition of the International Meeting in Commutative Algebra and Related Areas (SIMCARA 2019) will be held in São Carlos, Brazil, 22–26 July 2019.  It will be organized by the research group on Commutative Algebra of the Department of Mathematics  of the Instituto de Ciências Matemáticas e de Computação – Universidade de  São Paulo – Campus de São Carlos, SP-Brazil.
The meeting will celebrate the 150th birthday of Roger Wiegand and Sylvia Wiegand.
The meeting will include minicourses by Franz-Viktor Kuhlmann (Szczecin), Graham Leuschke (Syracuse), and Jan Trlifaj (Prague).

From Michel Beaudin:

The 25th Conference on Applications of Computer Algebra (ACA) will be held in Montréal, Canada: http://aca2019.etsmtl.ca/about/aca2019/ .
This event will take place from Tuesday July 16th to Saturday July 20th, 2019 at the École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS).
The ACA conference series is devoted to promoting computer algebra applications as well as foster interaction and exchange among developers of computer algebra systems with researchers and users. The latter are mostly scientists, engineers, educators and mathematicians. The topics covered during the conference include, but are not limited to, the use of computer algebra in sciences, engineering, communication, medicine, pure and applied mathematics, education, business and computer science.
The special session ALGEBRAIC GEOMETRY FROM AN ALGORITHMIC POINT OF VIEW (organizers: Cristina Bertone and Francesca Cioffi) will surely interest the commutative algebra community

There will be a workshop on Algebra meets combinatorics in Neuchatel, Switzerland on July 15-17, 2019. For more information see the workshop website:

The SIAM conference on Applied Algebraic Geometry will be held at the University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland on July 9-13, 2019. For more information please see the conference website:
https://mathsites.unibe.ch/siamag19/

There will be a Summer School on Randomness and Learning in Non-Linear Algebra July 01 – 05, 2019 at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences. This summer school aims at bringing together researchers working on probabilistic and statistical methods and questions in nonlinear algebra. Keynote speakers will be:

• Peter Bürgisser (Technische Universität Berlin)
• Daniel Erman (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
• Antonio Lerario (Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati)

There will also be a number of invited guest speakers and a poster session for interested young participants.
Scientific Organizers:

• Paul Breiding, MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences
• Jesus De Loera, University of California at Davis
• Sonja Petrovic, Illinois Institute of Technology
• Despina Stasi, Illinois Institute of Technology

Poster submissions and registration are now open (as of 11 Febrary 2019). Travel funding applications are being accepted until 1 April 2019.
Registration, funding, and poster session information:
Students, postdocs, and other early career researchers are strongly encouraged to submit a poster to present at the poster session.
Travel funding is available to participants if they agree to present their work in the form of a poster. Applicants from the US are not required, but are nevertheless strongly encouraged, to submit a poster. All interested participants may apply for funding during the registration process and will receive further instructions in their confirmation email.
*** Funding decisions will be made by April 15th, 2019. ***
Logistical information:
For information about travel to the institute, please check the “Travel instructions” link from the school homepage.
US-based participants who anticipate that they may receive a travel allowance from our NSF grant will need to comply with the agency’s travel guidelines (see below).
Information about hotel suggestions will be sent out shortly; there are no restrictions or special rates on hotel bookings.
NSF guidelines for air travel:
See section G. INTERNATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS on this site: https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/pappguide/nsf13001/aag_6.jsp
Participants may note that, depending on their origin/destination city pair, they don’t necessarily have to use a US-flag carrier to fly to the school. To see if this is the case, please check the city-pair requirement of the Open-Skies agreement (there are links on the site above).
