The modules submitted to the competition will be part of an open source exhibition on the theme of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imaginary-exhibition.com\/mpe2013\/MPE2013\/MPE2013-competition.html\" target=\"_blank\">Mathematics of Planet Earth<\/a>. They could be reproduced and utilized by many users around the world from science museums to schools under a <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/\" target=\"_blank\">Creative Commons<\/a> type license. The exhibition will have a virtual part, as well as instructions to realize material parts. To stimulate imagination on the many domains where mathematics plays a crucial role in planetary issues. four themes are proposed:\u00a0 a planet to discover (oceans; meteorology and climate; mantle processes, natural resources, celestial mechanics); a planet supporting life (ecology, biodiversity, evolution); a planet organized by humans (political, economic, social and financial systems; organization of transport and communications networks; management of resources; energy); and a planet at risk (climate change, sustainable development, epidemics; invasive species, natural disasters).\u00a0 Ideas for possible modules can be found in this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imaginary-exhibition.com\/osp\/mpe2013\/data\/ideas-for-modules-MPE2013.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">document<\/a>. The competition is open from January 2012 to May 15, 2012, and first, second and third prizes will receive $5,000, $3,000, and $2,000, respectively. NIMBioS is a participant in a special year of broadly based programs in 2013 on the Mathematics of Planet Earth (MPE2013). MPE2013 will provide a platform to showcase the relevance of mathematics to addressing the biological aspects of planetary problems and create a context for the mathematical and interdisciplinary developments necessary to meet global challenges.
