ICM 2014: Administration of Travel Grants for U.S. Participants

美国数学学会（American Mathematical Society）将实施一项计划，选拔和支持大约90名美国早期和高级数学家参加2014年8月在韩国首尔举行的国际数学家大会（ICM-2014）。国际数学家大会（ICM）每四年举行一次，是世界领先数学家最重要的聚会之一，讨论数学研究的主要发展，跨学科。美国数学家参加这次会议对美国的科学健康非常重要，因为美国数学家讨论、学习和分享世界各地正在进行的数学研究。协会也曾为以前的ICM会议提供过类似的旅行资助项目，从日本京都的ICM-90会议开始，到最近在印度海德拉巴举行的ICM-2010会议。该项目确保了美国数学家的大量参加，促进了与世界其他地区数学科学家的接触，这不仅对未来数学家的教育很重要，而且对美国数学研究的长期活力也很重要。此外，将努力确保早期职业数学家、妇女和少数民族得到充分考虑，以支持他们的出席。

The American Mathematical Society will administer a program for selecting and supporting approximately 90 U.S. early-career and more senior mathematicians to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians in Seoul Korea in August 2014 (ICM-2014). The International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) is held once every four years, and is one of the most significant gatherings of the world's leading mathematicians, where major developments in mathematical research, across sub-disciplines, is discussed. Attendance by U.S. mathematicians at this meeting is important for the scientific health of the nation because U.S. mathematicians discuss, learn and share in mathematical research that is going on all over the world. The Society has administered similar travel grant programs for previous ICM gatherings, beginning with ICM-90 in Kyoto, Japan and most recently for ICM-2010 in Hyderabad, India. The program ensures that there is strong attendance by U.S. mathematicians, promoting contact with mathematical scientists from other parts of the world, which is important not only for the education of future mathematicians, but also for the long-term vitality of mathematical research in the United States. In addition, efforts will be made to ensure that early career mathematicians, women and minorities receive full consideration to support their attendance.
