Lehigh-Harvard Geometry and Topology Conference

这笔赠款支持利哈伊-哈佛几何和拓扑学会议的三次会议，第一次会议于5月24-26日在利哈伊大学举行。大会三年中有两年在利哈伊大学举行，每三年在哈佛大学举行一次。这次会议邀请了国内和国际几何和拓扑学领域的领先研究人员讨论他们的最新工作。这次会议使来自该地区和全国各地的几何学家和拓扑学家社区有可能了解最新的发展，相互会面并分享数学。会议还致力于几何和拓扑学研究生和年轻教员的发展和培训。会议的一个重要组成部分是吸引和帮助来自全国各地的研究生和新近的博士学习主要演讲者和其他资深数学家，并与他们互动；会议在利哈伊举行时，他们也有足够的机会展示他们的研究成果。将积极寻求和鼓励妇女和少数群体的参与。

This grant supports three meetings of the Lehigh-Harvard Conference on Geometry and Topology with the first one taking place at Lehigh University on May 24-26. The conference is held at Lehigh University two years out of three, and at Harvard University every third year. The conference brings leading researchers of national and international stature in geometry and topology to discuss their latest work. The conference makes it possible for the community of geometers and topologists from the region and around the country to learn the most recent developments, to meet with each other and to share mathematics. The conference is also dedicated to the development and training of of graduate students and young faculty in geometry and topology. An important component of the conference is to attract and help graduate students and recent Ph.Ds to come from all over the country to learn and interact with principal speakers and other senior mathematicians; there are also ample chance for them to present their research results when the conference is held at Lehigh. Participation by women and minorities will be actively sought and encouraged.
