Summer Research Conferences: A Collaboration Between AMS, IMS & SIAM

美国数学学会（AMS）、数理统计研究所（IMS）和工业与应用数学学会（SIAM）提议赞助一项年度研究会议计划，涵盖数学科学的全部领域，并包括与其他科学的联系以及对工业的应用。本系列建立在AMS- ims - siam联合夏季研究会议（src）的长期和高度成功的系列研究会议的基础上，该会议自1982年以来由美国国家科学基金会资助，以及AMS- siam应用数学夏季研讨会和AMS夏季研究所，两者都得到了美国国家科学基金会30多年的支持。然而，有一些重要的变化增加了灵活性，促进了高质量的科学项目。这一活动的科学监督将由一个代表三个学会的顶尖研究数学家组成的委员会进行。这三个学会在这个系列上的合作将允许涵盖整个数学科学的广度，并将培养一些主题的跨学科特征。这三个协会非常适合提供必要的基础设施来招揽、促进和开展这类会议。（新的）学术研讨会将包括6至8次会议，于夏季在主办学术机构连续几周举行。大多数会议将持续一周，有45至65名与会者参加由该领域领导人主持的有限数量的一小时的全体讲座。会议还将安排其他会议供与会者介绍，包括处于职业生涯早期阶段的研究人员正在进行的工作。时间将保留每天非正式的研究讨论。每周提供一次集体社交郊游，并安排适合非正式晚间聚会的便利空间。在某些情况下，将在连续几周内安排两到三次与科学有关的为期一周的会议。这种安排可能包括紧密耦合的主题，由一个共同的组织委员会和一组参与者（100-150人）组成，或者与科学相关的主题由单独的组织委员会组成，并且出席人数可能有所重叠。前者基本上将代表类似于AMS- siam夏季研讨会和AMS暑期学院的会议，该系列也将取代AMS- siam夏季研讨会和AMS暑期学院。后者将是一种新的安排，旨在突出同一研究主题的不同方面。

The American Mathematical Society (AMS), the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) propose sponsoring an annual program of research conferences,spanning the full range of the mathematical sciences, and including connections with other sciences as well as applications to industry. This series builds on the long standing and highly successful series of researchconferences known as the AMS-IMS-SIAM Joint Summer Research Conferences (SRCs), funded by the National Science Foundation since 1982, and the AMS-SIAM Summer Seminar in Applied Mathematics and the AMS Summer Institute, both with NSF support for over thirty years. There are important changes, however, that add flexibility and promote a high quality scientific program.Scientific oversight of this activity will be carried out by a committee of leading research mathematicians, representing the three societies. The collaboration of the three societies on this series will permit coverage of the entire breadth of the mathematical sciences and will foster an interdisciplinary character to some topics. The three societies are ideally suited to provide the infrastructure necessary to solicit, promote, andcarry out these kinds of conferences.The (new) SRCs will consist of from six to eight conferences held in contiguous weeks in the summer at a host academic institution. Most of the conferences will be one week long with between forty-five and sixty-fiveparticipants attending a limited number of plenary hour-long lectures by leaders in the field. Additional sessions will be scheduled for presentations by conference participants, including work in progress byresearchers at an early stage in their careers. Time will be reserved each day for informal research discussions. One group social outing will be provided each week, and a convenient space suitable for informal evening get togethers will be arranged.In some instances, two or three scientifically linked one-week conferences will be scheduled for consecutive weeks. This arrangement may include either topics that are tightly coupled, with a common organizing committee and a single set of participants (100-150), or scientifically related topics with separate organizing committees, and some expected overlap in attendance. The former will essentially represent conferences similar to the AMS-SIAM Summer Seminar and the AMS Summer Institute, which this seriesalso replaces. The latter will be a new arrangement serving to highlight different aspects of the same research theme.
