Women in Topology Workshop

该奖项为美国研究人员提供差旅支持，以参加将于 2019 年 8 月 25 日至 29 日在德国波恩豪斯多夫数学研究所举行的第三届拓扑学女性 (WIT III) 研讨会。该研讨会由拓扑学女性网络组织，旨在不断努力提高活跃女性研究人员的知名度，同时支持和扩大女性数学家在同伦理论数学领域的研究工作。 遵循在班夫国际研究站举行的 WIT I (2013) 和 WIT II (2016) 研讨会的形式，会议的主要特点是参与 5-6 名参与者的团队合作项目，每个参与者包括高级和初级研究人员。 该研讨会旨在帮助初级研究人员在该领域发展合作和网络。 参与者来自十三个不同的国家，包括来自各种类型机构（包括四年制大学）的研究生、博士后和教师。 同伦理论是代数拓扑的一个蓬勃发展的领域。 WIT 系列之前的研讨会做出了重大的研究贡献。本着类似的精神，WIT III 研讨会的参与者将在研讨会前的几个月内开展团队项目，然后在研讨会期间集中在一起工作，目标是发表论文。 研讨会组织者将担任会议论文集的编辑。 该计划过去的成果表明，它不仅在该领域取得了新成果，而且还保留了参与该计划的女性并取得了成功。该模型已在多个研究领域被证明是成功的。有关 WIT III 的更多信息，请访问 https://www.him.uni-bonn.de/events/scientific-events/single-scientific-events/women-in-topology-2019/description/。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides travel support for US-based researchers to participate in the third Women in Topology (WIT III) workshop that will take place August 25-29, 2019, at the Hausdorff Research Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, Germany. The workshop is organized by the Women in Topology network in a continuing effort to increase the visibility of active female researchers, while supporting and expanding research efforts by female mathematicians in a field of mathematics known as homotopy theory. Following the format of the WIT I (2013) and WIT II (2016) workshops, both held at the Banff International Research Station, the main feature of the meeting is engagement in collaborative group projects for teams of 5-6 participants, each including senior and junior researchers. The workshop is designed to help junior researchers develop collaborations and networks in the field. Participants are based in thirteen different countries and include graduate students, postdocs, and faculty from a range of types of institutions, including four-year colleges. Homotopy theory is a thriving field of algebraic topology. Previous workshops in the WIT series resulted in significant research contributions. In a similar spirit, participants in the WIT III workshop will work on team projects in the months leading up to the workshop, then work intensively together during the workshop period, with the goal of producing published papers. Workshop organizers will serve as editors of the conference proceedings. The past outcomes of this program indicate that it is successful not only in producing new results in the field, but also in the retention and success of the women who participate in it. This model has proved to be successful in several research areas.
