This conference aims to bring together experts on classical isoperimetric inequalities, sharp functional inequalities, and spectral inequalities for a week-long conference in Carthage, Tunisia, where the mathematical problem named after Queen Dido, the founder of Carthage, originated. The week-long gathering at the end of May 2010 will serve as a training ground for young researchers and graduate students, incorporating an intensive program on techniques of rearrangement, spectral analysis, and geometric inequalities. Through a review of major breakthroughs over the last 30 years, and the confluence of recent results by both senior professors and junior researchers, the conference will serve as a means to bring together the many trends within isoperimetry. The conference will also serve as a forum to bring experts on isoperimetry in Analysis and Mathematical Physics into direct contact with those working near the roots of the problem in Geometry. Through 24 plenary talks (expository, intermediate, and advanced), open problems sessions, and a poster session for graduate students, the conference will serve as a venue for a wide-ranging evaluation of trends within the discipline of isoperimetry. Attendees will be exposed to classical mathematical traditions in the context of isoperimetry (probabilistic, analytic, geometric) and more recent trends (nonlinear flow techniques).The award provides funding of travel expenses of researchers and students working in the U.S. to participate in the Queen Dido conference. The conference is envisioned as a fully international gathering, and it is essential that the activities of mathematicians in the U.S. be adequately represented. The award is co-funded by the Office of International Science and Engineering.

本次会议旨在汇集经典等周不等式，尖锐的函数不等式和光谱不等式的专家在突尼斯迦太基举行为期一周的会议，迦太基的创始人狄多皇后命名的数学问题起源于此。在2010年5月底为期一周的聚会将作为年轻研究人员和研究生的培训基地，结合重排，光谱分析和几何不等式技术的密集计划。通过回顾过去30年来的重大突破，以及高级教授和初级研究人员最近的成果，会议将成为汇集等周法中许多趋势的一种手段。会议还将作为一个论坛，使分析和数学物理等周学专家与那些在几何问题的根源附近工作的人直接接触。通过24个全体会议（初级，中级和高级），开放问题会议和研究生海报会议，会议将作为一个广泛的等周学学科内的趋势评估的场所。与会者将接触到经典的数学传统的背景下等周法（概率，分析，几何）和最近的趋势（非线性流技术）。该奖项提供资金的研究人员和学生在美国工作的旅费参加女王狄多会议。这次会议被设想为一个完全国际性的聚会，这是至关重要的，在美国的数学家的活动得到充分的代表。该奖项由国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。
