        In October 1976, a three-day meeting devoted to numerical analysis was
        held at the EPFL in Lausanne. The organizers, J. Descloux and J. Marti, 
        suggested that similar reunions of Swiss numerical analysts
        should take place at a regular basis.
        In an informal discussion at the Rutishauser 
        Symposion in October 1980, organized by W. Gander, P. Henrici 
        and J. Marti at the ETH Zürich, it was considered 
        suitable to 
        restrict the event to one day.
        As of 1981, annual meetings took place except for the years 1996, 
        1998, and 2000-2004, under the name "Journée 
        Suisse d'Analyse Numérique / Schweizer Tagung über Numerische Mathematik".
        The colloquium tradition has been revived in 2005 by Profs. M. Chipot and S. Sauter 
        from Universität Zürich with the
        "Schweizer Numerik Kolloquium / Colloque Numérique Suisse".
       
        The list of venues of the Colloquium follows.
