There is a need in the mathematics community for conferences that are geared toward the professional growth of young mathematicians. Attending and giving talks at conferences is a necessary part of every mathematician's life, but many conferences cater to established specialists. Such an environment can prove too intimidating for graduate students who wish to give talks of their own. The Binghamton University Graduate Conference in Algebra and Topology (BUGCAT) was specifically designed to meet the need for an alternative. It is a math conference run by graduate students, for graduate students. Like all conferences, BUGCAT provides a gathering place for professors and graduate students from various institutions to present their research to a wider audience, to collaborate, and to share ideas. The focus at the BUGCAT, however, is on the graduate student. The BUGCAT gives graduate students doing research in any area of algebra or topology an opportunity to practice giving talks and to network with other mathematicians sharing related research interests. At the same time, it gives graduate students an opportunity to hear talks by world renowned mathematicians doing groundbreaking work.This award supports the Binghamton University Graduate Conference in Algebra and Topology, which will take place at Binghamton University on November 17-18, 2014. Now in its seventh year, the BUGCAT is a venue where algebra and topology graduate students in all stages of their research can present their work. The graduate students who attend the BUGCAT are better equipped to find academic positions and continue research and collaboration. Attendees are exposed to a wide variety of current research, ideas, and results, and they have ample opportunity to meet senior researchers and students of their generation who may become future collaborators or colleagues. The conference also promotes diversity in the mathematical sciences by encouraging and supporting participation by women and minorities.

在数学界，有一种为年轻数学家的专业成长而设的会议的需求。参加会议并在会议上发言是每个数学家生活中必不可少的一部分，但许多会议都是为了迎合已有的专家。这样的环境对于那些想要自己发表演讲的研究生来说可能太吓人了。宾厄姆顿大学代数和拓扑研究生会议（BUGCAT）是专门为满足替代方案的需求而设计的。这是一个由研究生举办的数学会议，面向研究生。像所有的会议一样，BUGCAT为来自不同机构的教授和研究生提供了一个聚集的场所，向更广泛的受众展示他们的研究，合作和分享想法。然而，BUGCAT的重点是研究生。BUGCAT为在代数或拓扑的任何领域进行研究的研究生提供了一个练习演讲的机会，并与其他数学家分享相关研究兴趣。同时，它为研究生提供了一个听世界著名数学家进行开创性工作的机会。该奖项支持宾厄姆顿大学代数和拓扑研究生会议，该会议将于2014年11月17日至18日在宾厄姆顿大学举行。今年是BUGCAT举办的第七个年头，它是代数和拓扑学研究生在各个研究阶段展示他们工作成果的场所。参加BUGCAT的研究生可以更好地找到学术职位并继续研究和合作。与会者将接触到各种各样的当前研究、想法和结果，他们有足够的机会与可能成为未来合作者或同事的资深研究人员和学生见面。会议还通过鼓励和支持妇女和少数民族的参与，促进数学科学的多样性。
