    <p>Dear All,</p>
    <p>welcome to be a members of the RISC (study) board.<br>
      I am looking forward to see you at our first meeting, this Monday:</p>
    <p><b>February 2, 10:30-12:00 at the seminar room of the RISC
        extension building.</b></p>
    <p>Alternatively, you may join via Zoom:<br>

      <br>
      Meeting-ID: 998 4351 1497

      Passwort: 024294
      <br>
      <br>
    </p>
    <p>Let me once more summarize the main goal (and maybe others to be
      discussed in our first meeting).</p>
    <p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>RISC is currently working on the
        establishment of a RISC European College based on the Master’s
        program </span><em><span>Computational Mathematics</span></em><span>,
        with a specialization in </span><em><span>Symbolic Computation
          (SC)</span></em><span> and a particular focus on the
        combination of Symbolic Computation and Machine Learning.</span></p>
    <p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>Our goal is to launch this initiative
        in the coming winter semester with an initial cohort of
        approximately 15-20 students. To support this effort, we plan to
        establish a </span><strong><span>RISC (Study) Board</span></strong><span>
        that brings together RISC researchers who are interested in this
        initiative and willing to contribute to its development.</span></p>
    <p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>Members of the RISC Board would be
        involved, as appropriate, in the following activities:</span></p>
    <ul data-spread="false">
      <li>
        <p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>discussing and designing the
            study plan for the planned RISC College,</span></p>
      </li>
      <li>
        <p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>proposing topics for Master’s
            theses,</span></p>
      </li>
      <li>
        <p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>advising or co-advising Master’s
            students and their theses,</span></p>
      </li>
      <li>
        <p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>contributing to lectures, in
            particular at the interface of Symbolic Computation and
            Machine Learning,</span></p>
      </li>
      <li>
        <p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>helping to promote the Master’s
            program and the planned RISC College (but also our two
            conferences in July) by reaching out to colleagues in
            research institutes and industry to attract strong
            candidates.</span></p>
      </li>
    </ul>
    <p><span>In our first meeting of the RISC Board we plan to discuss
        the details and how initiate/distribute the different tasks
        optimally. </span></p>
    <p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>I am looking forward to see you next
        Monday! </span></p>
    <p><span>With best wishes,</span><br>
      <span>Carsten</span></p>
