About the Meeting
Each year the American Mathematical Society liaises with a host society from another country to organize a meeting, linking together members of the mathematical community from the US and abroad. The 2015 meeting will bring together the American Mathematical Society (AMS), the European Mathematical Society (EMS) and the hosting Portuguese Mathematical Society (SPM) in the UNESCO world heritage city of Porto, from which Portugal derives its name.
Perched high above the Douro River, Porto was named the 2014 winner of the best destination in Europe award. The venue is close at hand to local cultural sites and a variety of accommodations.

The social program will include a reception and a banquet, and the organizers plan on having special social activities for the persons accompanying the participants.
