7th Midwest Women in Mathematics Symposium

中西部女性数学研讨会（WIMS）自2013年以来一直是一年一度的活动，每年由中西部地区的不同大学主办。2019年研讨会的东道主是爱荷华大学。这是该会议第一次在密西西比河以西举行。会议将女研究生和从博士后研究人员到教授的各级专业数学家聚集在一起，讨论当前的数学研究问题，并学习如何寻找学术和stem相关的工作。（研讨会对所有人开放，不分性别。）在这个现代时代，数学的发展非常迅速，研究领域也很广泛。现实情况是，不同领域的人很难沟通和合作。研讨会在弥合这些差距方面至关重要，它在中西部地区的数学女性中建立了一种社区意识，并促进了新的研究合作和指导关系。本次研讨会的主讲人来自四个数学领域；(i)代数，（ii）分析和偏微分方程，（iii）数学生物学，（iv）几何和拓扑学，从纯数学到应用数学各不相同。研讨会的目标之一是讨论这些领域和相关领域的当前热点问题。研讨会包括两个1小时的全体会议，12个30分钟的特邀讲座和四个平行会议的8个研究生报告，以及关于职业问题的讨论。特别是全体会议以专题讨论会的形式进行，使一般听众更容易获得信息。在平行会议中，将给出更详细的研究报告。研究生的演讲（这是2019年研讨会的一个新特点，取代了以前会议上的海报展示）有望帮助他们更好地找到未来的合作者和学术/非学术职位。关于研讨会的更多信息，包括演讲者名单和摘要，将在研讨会的网页上提供：https://math.uiowa.edu/news-events/7th-midwest-women-mathematics-symposiumThis该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

Midwest Women in Mathematics Symposium (WIMS) has been an annual event since 2013, hosted by different universities in the Midwest region each year. The host of 2019 symposium is the University of Iowa. It is the first time that the meeting is taking place in the West of the Mississippi River. The meeting brings female graduate students and professional mathematicians of all ranks from postdoctoral researchers to professors together to discuss current mathematical research problems and learn how to search for academic and STEM-related jobs. (The symposium is open to everyone regardless of gender.) In this modern age, the development of mathematics is significantly fast and areas of research are widely spread. Reality is that people in different fields hardly communicate and collaborate. The Symposium is essential in bridging these gaps by building a sense of community among women in mathematics starting with the Midwest and promoting new research collaborations and mentoring relations.In this symposium, presenters and speakers are chosen from four mathematical fields; (i) Algebra, (ii) Analysis and Partial Differential Equations, (iii) Mathematical Biology, and (iv) Geometry and Topology, that vary from pure math to applied math. One of the goals of the Symposium is to encounter current hot subjects in these and related fields. The Symposium features two one-hour plenary talks, twelve thirty-minute invited lectures and eight graduate student presentations in four parallel sessions and also a discussion on career issues. Especially the plenary talks are delivered in colloquium style to make the information more accessible to general audiences. In the parallel sessions, more detailed presentations of research will be given. Presentations by graduate students (which is a new feature of 2019 symposium, replacing presenting posters only in previous meetings) is expected to help them better in finding future collaborators and academic/non-academic positions. More information about the Symposium including the list of speakers and abstracts will be available at the symposium web page: https://math.uiowa.edu/news-events/7th-midwest-women-mathematics-symposiumThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
