Special Meetings: SIAM Interdisciplinary Conferences in the Mathematical and Computational Sciences

根据这笔赠款(NSF-DMS-0963706)，工业和应用数学学会将在2010年4月至2013年3月的三年中组织和举办一系列数学和计算科学跨学科会议。这笔赠款包括为跨学科研讨会提供资金，这些研讨会建立在NSF数学科学研究所发起的计划和SIAM庆祝多样性研讨会的基础上。这笔资金将用于学生、早期职业专业人士和受邀演讲者参加SIAM会议的旅费，以及向更广泛的社区传播受邀的会议演讲和教程。SIAM跨学科会议与数学和计算科学的其他会议的不同之处在于，它们经常吸引来自数学和计算科学以及其他科学、工业组织和政府实验室的研究人员和从业者。因此，他们为科学进步、政府项目和美国的经济竞争力做出了贡献。该系列会议涉及广泛的主题和应用，赋予它们智力活力、及时性和覆盖面，并利用开放的形式通过社区提议的会议确定和孵化新兴领域。这些会议为学生和早期职业专业人士提供了一个欢迎的环境，将教育与研究结合在一起。SIAM官员对会议的监督通过强有力和支持性地鼓励组织委员会和受邀发言者之间的多样性来促进多样性。此外，SIAM庆祝多样性的讲习班特别注重多样性。

Under this grant (NSF-DMS-0963706), the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) will organize and run a series of interdisciplinary conferences in the mathematical and computational sciences, during the three years April 2010 through March 2013. The grant includes funding for interdisciplinary workshops that build on programs initiated by the NSF Mathematical Sciences Institutes and the SIAM Workshops Celebrating Diversity. The funding will support travel of students, early career professionals and invited speakers to SIAM conferences and dissemination of invited conference presentations and tutorials to the wider community.SIAM interdisciplinary conferences are distinguished from other conferences in the mathematical and computational sciences by the extent to which they routinely attract researchers and practitioners from within the mathematical and computational sciences and simultaneously from within other sciences, industrial organizations and government laboratories. As a result they contribute to advances in the sciences, in government programs, and to the economic competitiveness of the United States. The conferences in the series address a broad range of topics and applications, giving them intellectual vibrancy, timeliness, and reach, and they utilize an open format to identify and incubate emerging areas through community proposed sessions. The conferences provide a welcoming environment for students and early career professionals, integrating education with research. Oversight of the conferences by SIAM officers promotes diversity by forceful and supportive encouragement of diversity among organizing committees and invited speakers. In addition, a special focus on diversity is provided by the SIAM Workshops Celebrating Diversity.
