AMS-SOMACHI Joint Meeting Travel Grants

美国数学学会(AMS)和智利社会(SOMACHI)的第一次国际会议将于2010年12月15-18日在智利普隆举行。这笔赠款将资助11名美国数学家(9名职业早期数学家和2名资深数学家)参加这次联合国际会议的旅费和生活费，目的是形成更长期的南北数学研究合作。所有获得资助的数学家都将积极参与会议的数学议程；两位资深数学家还将担任研究团队的导师。每笔旅行补助金的金额为2600美元。美国数学学会将管理这笔赠款，并要求每笔旅行补助金60美元，以支付其行政费用。赠款总额为29,260美元。该项目将由俄亥俄州立大学的Herb Clemens教授和智利天主教大学的RubíE.Rodríguez教授与AMS-SOMACHI项目委员会协商监督。克莱门斯和罗德里格斯教授将组成六个研究小组，每个研究小组由一名高级导师、一到两名拉丁美洲的年轻数学家(高级研究生或年轻专业人员)和一到两名美国的年轻数学家(高级研究生或年轻专业人员)组成。每个研究小组将围绕在智利举行的国际联合会议的一个特别会议上共同感兴趣的研究问题而聚集在一起。团队导师将被要求制定其研究团队在整个2011年的持续联系和合作框架。成果将包括研究和高级说明性出版物。该项目将成为加强拉美和美国数学界之间长期研究关系的工具。该奖项由美国国家科学基金会国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。

First International Meeting of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and La Sociedad de Matemática de Chile (SOMACHI) will take place in Pucón, Chile on December 15-18, 2010. This grant will fund the travel and subsistence expenses of eleven U.S.-based mathematicians (nine early-career and two senior mathematicians) to attend this Joint International Meeting, with the object of forming longer-term north-south research collaborations in mathematics. All of the funded mathematicians will participate actively in the mathematical agenda of the meeting; the two senior mathematicians will also serve as mentors for research teams. The amount of each travel grant will be US$2,600. The American Mathematical Society will administer the grant, and requests US$60 per travel grant to cover its administrative costs. The total amount of the grant is US$29,260. The project will be overseen by Professor Herb Clemens of Ohio State University and Professor Rubí E. Rodríguez of Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in consultation with the AMS-SOMACHI program committee. Professors Clemens and Rodríguez will form six research teams, with each research team consisting of a senior mentor, one to two younger mathematicians (advanced graduate students or young professionals) based in Latin America and one to two younger mathematicians (advanced graduate students or young professionals) based in the U.S. Each research team will be brought together around a research problem of common interest related to one of the Special Sessions at the Joint International Meeting in Chile. Team mentors will be asked to frame the continuing contact and collaboration of his/her research team throughout 2011. Outcomes will include both research and advanced expository publications. This project will be a vehicle for strengthening longer-term research relations between the Latin American and U. S. mathematical communities. This award is co-funded by the NSF Office of International Science and Engineering.
