The Midwest Topology Seminar for 2014 to 2017 is the continuation of a regional conference series in algebraic topology that meets three times per year and rotates between universities in the Midwest and Great Lakes areas. The next two meetings are at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (April 2014) and Northwestern University (Fall 2014). The Midwest Topology Seminar has been running continuously since the early 1970s, with at least one of the yearly meetings held in Chicago, the hub of the network. Algebraic topology has always been broadly construed to include homotopy theory, algebraic K-theory, geometric group theory, and high dimensional manifolds; more recently the series has explored connections to algebraic geometry, representation theory, number theory, low dimensional manifolds, and mathematical physics.The Midwest Topology Seminar is a long-standing, reliable, low-key, and low-cost way for participants to keep up with the field. The Midwest is a traditional and continuing center of algebraic topology; hence there is a strong source of local speakers. Programs are augmented with featured speakers from around the country. The audiences are always large and diversified, drawing faculty and graduate students from a broad range of institutions. The Midwest Topology Seminar serves as a nexus for a vibrant community of research mathematicians, optimizing the distribution of new ideas through the field, especially among early career research mathematicians and mathematicians away from the traditional centers of research. This award supports travel expenses for approximately twelve seminar participants, primarily graduate students and other active research mathematicians with limited means of support, per year.Conference web site: www.math.wayne.edu/~rrb/MTS/

2014至2017年的中西部拓扑学研讨会是代数拓扑学区域系列会议的延续，该系列会议每年召开三次，在中西部和五大湖地区的大学之间轮流举行。接下来的两次会议将在印第安纳大学-普渡大学印第安纳波利斯(2014年4月)和西北大学(2014年秋季)举行。中西部拓扑学研讨会自1970年代初以来一直持续举办，每年至少有一次会议在该网络的中心芝加哥举行。代数拓扑学一直被广泛地解释为包括同伦理论、代数K理论、几何群论和高维流形；最近，该系列探索了与代数几何、表示论、数论、低维流形和数学物理的联系。中西部拓扑学研讨会是参与者跟上该领域的一个长期、可靠、低调和低成本的方式。中西部是一个传统的和持续的代数拓扑学中心；因此有一个强大的本地说话者来源。节目中增加了来自全国各地的特色演讲者。观众总是庞大而多样化的，吸引了来自广泛机构的教职员工和研究生。中西部拓扑学研讨会是一个充满活力的研究数学家社区的纽带，优化了新思想在该领域的传播，特别是在早期职业研究数学家和远离传统研究中心的数学家之间。该奖项每年资助大约12名研讨会参与者的旅费，主要是研究生和其他支持手段有限的活跃的研究数学家。会议网址：www.math.wayne.edu/~rrb/mts/
