Guidelines for Cooperation

• SIAM cooperation must be approved by the SIAM Vice-President for Programs
• If the VP for Programs approves SIAM cooperation then, in addition, cooperation may be requested with an individual SIAG.  In this case, the VP for Programs will contact the chair of the SIAG and make the request for cooperation
• Approval, if granted, is on a conference by conference basis (i.e. approval for one year does not automatically imply approval for any following conferences)
• The organizers agree that SIAM will bear no financial or legal liability for the conference
• SIAM's participation must be recognized on all conference announcements and programs using "in cooperation with the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)" or by listing the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics as a "cooperating society" ( if in cooperation with a SIAM activity group, add the name of the group after the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics above)
• If cooperation with a SIAM activity group has also been approved, add the name of the group after the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics as described above
• At least one SIAM member must be on the organizing committee; that member must be listed explicitly as the SIAM representative on all conference materials and announcements
• Requests for cooperation should be made as early as possible. SIAM may not be able to grant a request for cooperation if it arrives too late in the promotion cycle. Ideally, a request for cooperation should arrive prior to or at the time of the first public announcement of the conference.
• The dates of the proposed conference must not fall within two weeks of any day of SIAM's Annual Meeting nor within two weeks of any day of any SIAM conference that may have similar themes to the proposed conference.
• If there is a discounted registration fee offered to members of any sponsoring or cosponsoring organization, the same discounted fee must also be offered to SIAM members
• SIAM may request a final list of attendees and speakers, including contact information (affiliation, mailing address, phone number, email).
• SIAM will consider diversity issues when deciding whether to cooperate on a given conference.

As a cooperating society, SIAM agrees to have its name used in promoting the conference and to promote the conference in the section of SIAM News and our website devoted to conferences in which we are a cooperating society.
