Dear Origami l, The Seventh International Meeting on Origami in Science, Mathematics and Education (7OSME) is to be held in Oxford, United Kingdom between 5th and 7th September 2018. Previous meetings, held every four years, have been highly successful; the community has grown exponentially and meeting proceedings have become the definitive guide for advanced origami research.
We welcome origami artists who create artistic objects, mathematicians who model origami or use origami to solve other mathematics problems, scientists who explore folding or biological objects, engineers who use origami to solve problems in virtual and real world, and educators who use origami to inspire young generations. We are also fortunate to be able to organise 7OSME in conjunction with the British Origami Society, who will host their 2018 Summer Convention following 7OSME. We eagerly anticipate your active involvement. With your participation, 7OSME will become a truly interdisciplinary meeting of the origami community. Please pre-register so that we shall keep you informed about the meeting. http://osme.info/7osme/ Mark Bolitho on behalf of the 7OSME Organising Committee VENUE 7OSME will be held at University of Oxford.
