Now in its fourth year, the BUGCAT is a venue for algebra and topology graduate students in all stages of their research to present their work and meet other mathematicians with related research interests. It is a two-day conference on the Binghamton University campus. Participants will include graduate students at all levels, postdocs, and professors. Approximately 160 participants are expected, with about 110 of them traveling from outside of a 1 hour radius from Binghamton. The aim of the conference is to provide a comfortable environment for graduate students from a diversity of backgrounds and schools to share their research. Graduate students will have the priority for talk space. In addition, Gilbert Baumslag from the City University of New York and Robert Ghrist from the University of Pennsylvania will serve as keynote speakers at the conference. Participation from all areas of topology and algebra is encouraged.The conference strives to strengthen the sense of academic community among mathematics graduate students. Besides giving exposure to the research of advanced graduate students, the conference is an invaluable opportunity for students who have not chosen a research area yet to explore what topics are currently being fruitfully studied. The faculty members who attend serve an essential role in both providing new ideas as well as probing the ideas of graduate students, suggesting ideas for future study, and encouraging students to meet and work with people interested in their areas of research. Graduate students who attend the BUGCAT are better equipped to find academic positions and continue research and collaboration. The conference also promotes diversity in the mathematical sciences, both by encouraging women and minorities to attend and by encouraging participation from a broad range of graduate programs. The conference organizing committee, all graduate students, is remarkably diverse in gender, ethnicity, and background, and hence is well positioned to encourage participation by women and minorities.

现在在其第四个年头，BUGCAT是一个场地代数和拓扑研究生在他们的研究的各个阶段，以介绍他们的工作，并满足其他数学家与相关的研究兴趣。这是一个为期两天的会议在宾厄姆顿大学校园。参与者将包括各级研究生，博士后和教授。预计约有160名与会者，其中约110人来自宾厄姆顿1小时半径以外的地方。会议的目的是为来自不同背景和学校的研究生提供一个舒适的环境，分享他们的研究。研究生将优先获得谈话空间。此外，来自纽约城市大学的吉尔伯特鲍姆斯拉格和来自宾夕法尼亚大学的罗伯特·格里斯特将担任大会主旨发言人。鼓励拓扑学和代数学的所有领域的参与。会议致力于加强数学研究生的学术团体意识。除了让接触到先进的研究生的研究，会议是一个宝贵的机会，为学生谁还没有选择一个研究领域，探索什么主题目前正在卓有成效的研究。参加的教师在提供新的想法以及探索研究生的想法，为未来的学习提出建议，并鼓励学生与对他们的研究领域感兴趣的人会面和合作方面发挥着重要作用。参加BUGCAT的研究生更有能力找到学术职位并继续研究和合作。会议还通过鼓励妇女和少数民族参加并鼓励广泛的研究生课程参与来促进数学科学的多样性。会议组织委员会，所有研究生，在性别，种族和背景方面非常多样化，因此能够很好地鼓励妇女和少数民族的参与。
