The University of Notre Dame will host the Conference on Metric Geometry and Applications during March 14-17, 2013. The objective of the conference is to provide a forum for the presentation, exchange and discussion of new ideas and directions in the broad area of metric geometry and its interface with other areas. Another goal of the conference is to provide an informal setting for graduate students and younger researchers in the USA to learn of the newest trends and interact with prominent geometers and geometric analysts. The topics treated at the conference are at the core of metric geometry and its impact on other areas such as comparison geometry, Alexandrov geometry, and geometric analysis with emphasis on geometric flows and complex geometry. The abstract notion of distance has always played an important role in mathematics and applications. During the last few decades geometry and analysis in this general setting has witnessed dramatic developments and in turn is playing an increasingly important role in many areas of mathematics. The topics to be treated at the conference represent vibrant and growing fields with strong interactions to large classical areas in geometry and analysis. The strong field of speakers include several of the best contemporary researchers in these areas, and their work has opened up new and important avenues of investigation. Besides providing and opportunity for senior researchers to exchange ideas and discuss important new results and directions, another equally important goal of the conference is to foster interaction among graduate students from different universities. Graduate students and junior researchers have much to gain from being exposed to the most recent research problems and from contact with students and faculty from universities other than their own. Participation at such an event could trigger interesting thesis projects, or suggest new ideas for ongoing research. The conference website can be found at http://nd.edu/~conf/mga13/.

圣母大学将于2013年3月14日至17日主办度量几何及其应用会议。会议的目的是提供一个论坛，展示，交流和讨论在度量几何及其与其他领域的接口的广泛领域的新思想和方向。会议的另一个目标是为美国的研究生和年轻的研究人员提供一个非正式的环境，以了解最新的趋势，并与著名的几何学者和几何分析师进行互动。会议讨论的主题是度量几何的核心及其对其他领域的影响，如比较几何、亚历山德罗夫几何和几何分析，重点是几何流动和复杂几何。抽象的距离概念在数学和应用中一直扮演着重要的角色。在过去的几十年里，几何和分析在这一普遍背景下见证了戏剧性的发展，反过来在数学的许多领域发挥着越来越重要的作用。在会议上讨论的主题代表了充满活力和不断发展的领域，与几何和分析中的大型经典领域有很强的相互作用。演讲者的强大领域包括这些领域的几位当代最优秀的研究人员，他们的工作开辟了新的重要的研究途径。除了为资深研究人员提供交流思想和讨论重要新成果和方向的机会外，会议的另一个同样重要的目标是促进来自不同大学的研究生之间的互动。研究生和初级研究人员可以从接触最新的研究问题和与其他大学的学生和教师接触中获益良多。参加这样的活动可能会引发有趣的论文项目，或者为正在进行的研究提出新的想法。会议的网址是http://nd.edu/~conf/mga13/。
