The IMU and the ICIAM have created a joint working group to discuss the issue of why a rating of mathematical journals is desirable, and submitted a detailed proposal for journal rating. A blog (http://www.mathunion.org/journals) has been created to involve the mathematical community to contribute to the discussion with inputs and comments on the proposal. Please visit the blog website for more information. 3.- EVENTS 3.1- Events (co)-sponsored by BernSoc.
