In September of 2003, on the tail of the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in the Greater Toronto Area, MITACS (www.mitacs.ca), one of Canada's Networks of Centres of Excellence, teamed up with Health Canada in funding a workshop entitled the MITACS-PIMS-Health Canada meeting on SARS at the magnificent Banff International Research Station (BIRS) . A follow-up summer school and workshop were held the following year, at the same venue, under the auspices of the PIMS-MITACS-MSRI Special Program on Infectious Diseases, June 19 to July 02, 2004. Admission into the graduate summer school was quite competitive. Forty three students (10 from USA, 32 from Canada and 1 from China, as part of the MITACS exchange program with the Chinese Ministry of Higher Education) were selected.
