SMRI Ukrainian Visitor Program and International Visitor Program (February 2022 round) outcomes

I am happy to announce that there were 14 successful applicants in the SMRI
International Visitor Program round which closed in February 2022, as well as 3
successful applicants in the rolling SMRI Ukrainian Visitor Program.  Below is the list
of these visitors, in order of their visit dates, which are quite tentative in some
cases.  This scnews item will not be updated as visit information changes, so for the
most current information see:
https://mathematical-research-institute.sydney.edu.au/visiting-researchers/ 

As always, SMRI is grateful for the valuable contributions (financial and otherwise)
made by the hosts listed below, both inside and outside our School.  

The selections were made by the Scientific Advisory Committee of SMRI, listed on the
webpage: 

https://sydney.edu.au/research/centres/mathematical-research-institute.html 

The next IVP application round will open soon with a closing date in late July 2022, for
visits taking place in late 2023/2024.
