International Topology Conference Bedlewo 2005; Bedlewo, Poland

会议的目的是荣誉卡罗尔Borsuk的生活和工作，他的100周年诞辰，使领先的研究人员在几何拓扑结构来自世界各地，并交流在该领域的最新思想。组织委员会由Robert J. Daverman和Jerzy Dydak（田纳西大学）、Tadeusz Januszkiewicz（俄亥俄州大学）、Kaduyna Kuperberg（奥本大学）、Slawomir Nowak（华沙大学）以及Stanislaw Spiez和Henryk Torunczyk主席（波兰科学院）组成。主要发言人包括M. Besthart（犹他州大学）、A. Dranishnikov（佛罗里达大学）、J. Cannon（杨百翰大学）、M. Davis（俄亥俄州大学）、S. Ferry（罗格斯大学）和K. Kuperberg（奥本大学）。重点是通过组织由Besthart和Dranishnikov领导的两个研讨会，让初级教师和研究生参与会议。这些讲习班将有专门的会议，研究生只由初级教师（前学生的主要发言人）领导。国际会议的主要议题和几何拓扑讲习班是目前非常活跃的研究领域。许多与会者将有很好的研究记录，预计意见交流将导致今后取得重大成果，并促进国际合作。将努力让研究生和其他年轻的研究人员作为发言人参加会议。通过从美国引进研究生，我们计划让东欧学生了解美国和美国特定大学的教育机会。这种接触国际数学界也将为美国学生和年轻的研究人员提供一个极好的机会，了解其他国家的专业准备，并为未来的互动奠定基础。

The purpose of the conference is to honor Karol Borsuk's life and work on the 100th anniversary of his birth by bringing leading researchers in geometric topology from all over the world and exchange the latest ideas in the field. The Organizing Committee consists of Robert J. Daverman and Jerzy Dydak (University of Tennessee), Tadeusz Januszkiewicz (Ohio University), Krystyna Kuperberg (Auburn University), Slawomir Nowak (University of Warsaw), and Stanislaw Spiez and Henryk Torunczyk, Chair (Polish Academy of Sciences). The main speakers include M.Bestvina (University of Utah), A.Dranishnikov (University of Florida), J.Cannon (Brigham Young University), M.Davis (Ohio University), S.Ferry (Rutgers University), and K.Kuperberg (Auburn University).Emphasis is placed on involving junior faculty and graduate students in the meeting by organizing two workshops led by Bestvina and Dranishnikov. Those workshops will have special sessions for graduate students only led by junior faculty (former students of the main speakers).The main topics of the International Conference and Workshops on Geometric Topology are currently very active research areas. Many of the participants of the meeting will have strong research records, and it is expected that the exchange of ideas will lead to significant future results and stimulate international collaboration. An effort will be made to involve graduate students andother young researchers in the meeting as speakers. By bringing graduate students from the United States we plan to make students from Eastern Europe aware of the educational opportunities in the US and at specific universities here. This exposure to the international mathematical community will also present an excellent opportunity for American students and young researchers to learn about professional preparation in other countries and establish ground for future interaction.
