Call for nominations for named lectures at GTS congress
(mailed by Eric Maskin 5 April 2011)
Dear Members of the Game Theory Society,
I would like to invite you to nominate candidates for the three named lectures (see below) at Games 2012 (to be held in Istanbul, July 22-26, 2012). A nomination statement should provide the following information:
- name and institutional affiliation(s) of the candidate,
- a description of the nature and importance of the candidate's research that is germane to the lecture in question,
- citations of the candidate's published work on that topic.
Nomination statements should not exceed two pages including citations. Please do not nominate the same candidate for more than one lecture.
You may email nominations to gts@nash.lse.ac.uk and I will forward them to the relevant selection committee; all nominations will be acknowledged.
Nominations must be received by May 2, 2011 to be considered.
- Morgenstern Lecture. Oskar Morgenstern's vision of the need for a new economic science that deals with strategies and coalitions gave birth to game theory. The Oskar Morgenstern Lecture, given at each World Congress of the Game Theory Society, presents important developments in game theory with significant economic content.
- Von Neumann Lecture. John von Neumann was a co-founder of game theory and one of the pre-eminent mathematicians of the 20th century. The John von Neumann Lecture, given at each World Congress of the Game Theory Society, presents important developments in game theory that are of significant mathematical interest.
- Shapley Lecture. Lloyd Shapley pioneered many topics in game theory and their application to economics and political science. The Lloyd Shapley Lecture is given at each World Congress of the Game Theory Society by a distinguished game theorist aged 40 or under at the time of the Lecture.
Sincerely,
Eric Maskin
President, GTS
GTS mailing list
(mailed to GTS members by Bernhard von Stengel on 22 March 2011)Dear member of the Game Theory Society:
The GTS webpage has a very active webpage for conference announcements, http://www.gametheorysociety.org/conferences/ and upcoming deadlines are posted at the bottom of the home page http://www.gametheorysociety.org/, but otherwise communications by the society tend to be confined to business matters such as council elections.
A number of opportunities such as job openings that are not part of the normal job market, new books, and the like, may be of interest to GTS members. For that purpose, we would like to introduce a GTS MAILING LIST to which at first every GTS member belongs (but can unsubscribe at any time).
- Every GTS member can post a message (also on behalf of someone else), subject to approval by the Communications Officer.
- Conference announcements are NOT normally emailed, unless a meeting comes up at short notice, to reduce the amount of traffic. However, as before they will be posted immediately on the GTS conference webpage.
- Messages will be archived on the GTS website (for an appropriate amount of time).
- Unsubscribing or subscribing is possible at any time; this does not affect official GTS announcements to all members.
At the moment, just send email with "GTS announcement" or "GTS unsubscribe" etc. in its subject to gts@nash.lse.ac.uk, also for further suggestions. All emails will be acknowledged.
Thank you for your interest and best wishes,
Bernhard von Stengel
GTS communications officer
on behalf of all GTS officers
