Summer Research Conferences: A Collaboration Between AMS, IMS & SIAM

美国数学学会（AMS）、数理统计研究所（IMS）和工业与应用数学学会（SIAM）提议赞助一项年度研究会议计划，涵盖数学科学的全部领域，包括与其他科学的联系以及对工业的应用。该系列建立在长期和非常成功的一系列研究会议的基础上，这些会议被称为AMS-IMS-SIAM联合夏季研究会议（SRC），自1982年以来由美国国家科学基金会资助，以及AMS-SIAM应用数学夏季研讨会和AMS夏季研究所，这两个会议都得到了NSF的支持超过三十年。然而，有一些重要的变化，增加了灵活性，促进了高质量的科学计划。这项活动的科学监督将由一个代表三个学会的主要研究数学家委员会进行。这三个学会在这一系列的合作将允许覆盖整个广度的数学科学，并将促进跨学科性质的一些主题。这三个协会非常适合提供必要的基础设施，以征求，促进和开展这类会议。（新的）SRC将包括六到八个会议，在夏季连续几周在一个主办学术机构举行。大多数会议将持续一周，与会者人数在45至65人之间，参加该领域领导人举办的数量有限的一小时的全体会议讲座。还将安排额外的会议，供与会者介绍情况，包括研究人员在其职业生涯早期阶段正在进行的工作。每天将留出时间进行非正式的研究讨论。每周将提供一次小组社交郊游，并将安排一个适合非正式晚间聚会的方便场所。在某些情况下，将连续几周安排两到三次科学相关的为期一周的会议。这种安排可能包括紧密结合的专题，由一个共同的组织委员会和一组与会者（100-150人）组成，也可能包括与科学有关的专题，由不同的组织委员会组成，预计与会者会有一些重叠。前者将基本上代表类似于AMS-SIAM夏季研讨会和AMS夏季研究所的会议，本系列也将取代这些会议。后者将是一种新的安排，旨在突出同一研究主题的不同方面。

The American Mathematical Society (AMS), the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) propose sponsoring an annual program of research conferences,spanning the full range of the mathematical sciences, and including connections with other sciences as well as applications to industry. This series builds on the long standing and highly successful series of researchconferences known as the AMS-IMS-SIAM Joint Summer Research Conferences (SRCs), funded by the National Science Foundation since 1982, and the AMS-SIAM Summer Seminar in Applied Mathematics and the AMS Summer Institute, both with NSF support for over thirty years. There are important changes, however, that add flexibility and promote a high quality scientific program.Scientific oversight of this activity will be carried out by a committee of leading research mathematicians, representing the three societies. The collaboration of the three societies on this series will permit coverage of the entire breadth of the mathematical sciences and will foster an interdisciplinary character to some topics. The three societies are ideally suited to provide the infrastructure necessary to solicit, promote, andcarry out these kinds of conferences.The (new) SRCs will consist of from six to eight conferences held in contiguous weeks in the summer at a host academic institution. Most of the conferences will be one week long with between forty-five and sixty-fiveparticipants attending a limited number of plenary hour-long lectures by leaders in the field. Additional sessions will be scheduled for presentations by conference participants, including work in progress byresearchers at an early stage in their careers. Time will be reserved each day for informal research discussions. One group social outing will be provided each week, and a convenient space suitable for informal evening get togethers will be arranged.In some instances, two or three scientifically linked one-week conferences will be scheduled for consecutive weeks. This arrangement may include either topics that are tightly coupled, with a common organizing committee and a single set of participants (100-150), or scientifically related topics with separate organizing committees, and some expected overlap in attendance. The former will essentially represent conferences similar to the AMS-SIAM Summer Seminar and the AMS Summer Institute, which this seriesalso replaces. The latter will be a new arrangement serving to highlight different aspects of the same research theme.
