Conference: Mid-Atlantic Topology Conference 2024

这项国家科学基金会奖为将于2024年3月23日至24日在波士顿东北大学举行的中大西洋拓扑学会议的参与者提供资金。会议将集中讨论目前处于研究前沿的拓扑学趋势，包括几何群论、几何和拓扑数据分析、应用和计算拓扑学、更高范畴理论和基元同伦理论。这次会议将进一步促进代数拓扑学中日益增长的多样性，以及东海岸拓扑学社区的力量和一致性。这是一系列重复性会议中的最新一次，旨在联合这一地理区域日益活跃的拓扑组。会议将有9次45分钟的演讲，分两天举行。发言者的选择特别强调性别代表性。他们主要是职业生涯早期的研究人员，来自公共和私人机构。广告和资金的目标将是优先吸纳来自代表人数不足的人群的与会者，延续在会议最后一次迭代中被证明是成功的战略。这次会议将为研究生和博士后研究人员提供宝贵的联网和社区建设机会，并将加强拓扑学领域的区域结构。更多信息可在https://sites.google.com/northeastern.edu/matc2024/home.This网站获得，该奖项反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This National Science Foundation award provides funding for participants of the Mid-Atlantic Topology Conference, which will take place March 23 and 24, 2024 at Northeastern University in Boston. The conference will focus on a broad overview of trends in topology currently at the forefront of research, including geometric group theory, geometric and topological data analysis, applied and computational topology, higher category theory, and motivic homotopy theory. This conference will further advance the growing diversity within algebraic topology, as well as the strength and coherence of the East Coast topology community. It is the latest iteration in a series of recurring conferences aimed at uniting the increasingly active topology groups in this geographical area.The conference will feature nine 45-minute talks spread over two days. Speakers have been chosen with particular emphasis on gender representation. They are predominantly early career researchers and hail from public and private institutions alike. Advertising and funding will be targeted to prioritize inclusion of participants from underrepresented populations, continuing a strategy proven to be successful in the last iteration of the conference. The conference will provide graduate students and postdoctoral researchers with invaluable networking and community building opportunities and will strengthen the regional fabric of the field of topology.
