2015 MCM/ICM Call for Entries
ICM
Dear Colleagues:
The Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM), an international contest for high school students and college undergraduates, will hold its 17th annual competition in February 2015. Last year, 1028 teams from 228 institutions in three countries participated in the contest. ICM is designed to develop and advance interdisciplinary problem-solving skills as well as competence in written communication. This year there will be two ICM problems to select from: one will focus on network science and the second on environmental science. You can specifically build and prepare your team to tackle one of these topics, if you so chose
亲爱的同行们：
第17届国际数学建模竞赛（ICM）将于2015年2月举行，该赛事是面向大学生和高中生的国际性赛事。去年，来自3个国家的228个院校共1028个团队参加了竞赛。ICM 旨在发展并提升学生的解决交叉学科问题的能力和写作论文的能力。今年的ICM问题将有2道，题目选自于：第1个关注网络科学，第2个关注环境科学。您可以专门建立并准备你的团队去解决这些课题之一，如果你选择了某题。
Your institution may take part in the ICM effort by encouraging a member of your department to serve as a faculty advisor and by promoting the participation of faculty and students
from associated departments. Advisors help organize the teams, distribute contest materials, and return solution papers to COMAP.
您所在的机构可能需要设定一个你们院系负责人协助ICM，为指导老师服务，并通过相关部门促进老师和学生的参与。负责人组织团队，分发比赛材料， 并提交论文给COMAP。
注：这里的负责人在我国高校可能是数模协会会长或者数模老师。
