A Proposal of the Renewal of the Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS)

AbstractAward：班夫国际研究站（英语：Banff International Research Station，简称BIRS）成立于2003年，是一个北美研究机构，致力于促进世界各地数学科学家之间的密切和长期互动，以解决合作研究和跨学科协同的必要性。BIRS独特的基础设施为数学科学及其在科学和工程中的广泛应用提供了一个交流思想、知识和方法的创造性环境。BIRS涵盖了定量和分析研究的各个方面。它的程序几乎涵盖了纯数学，应用数学，计算数学和工业数学的各个方面，以及统计学和计算机科学。它的研讨会涉及物理学家，生物学家，工程师，经济学家和金融分析师。BIRS的主要运作模式是每年竞争性地选择和运行48个每周研讨会，每个研讨会有42名研究人员。对BIRS机会的非凡响应导致了极高质量的研讨会。 该奖项支持4,200多名美国数学科学家参与2016- 2020年期间的空间站活动。

AbstractAward: DMS 1442386, Principal Investigator: Nassif Ghoussoub Established in 2003, the Banff International Research Station (BIRS) is a North American research institute that addresses the imperatives of collaborative research and cross-disciplinary synergy, by facilitating intense and prolonged interactions among mathematical scientists from around the world. BIRS unique infrastructure ensures a creative environment for the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and methods within the mathematical sciences and their vast array of applications in science and engineering.BIRS embraces all aspects of quantitative and analytic research. Its programs span almost every aspect of pure, applied, computational, and industrial mathematics, as well as statistics and computer science. Its workshops involve physicists, biologists, engineers, economists, and financial analysts. BIRS main mode of operation is to annually competitively select and run 48 weekly workshops, each hosting 42 researchers. The extraordinary response to the opportunities at BIRS leads to extremely high quality workshops. This award supports the participation of more than 4,200 US-based mathematical scientists in the stations activities for the period 2016-20.
