A National Conference Center

AIM研究会议中心（ARCC）将促进数学科学的进步，并为数学家的当前和未来的生产力做出重大贡献。 通过重点研讨会的赞助，ARCC将为数学研究提供一个新的场所，这将加强和补充现有的会议中心和研究所。 ARCC集中的研讨会将区分他们的重点放在一个特定的数学目标，如一个重要的未解决的问题，一个重要的新结果，或两个不同的数学领域之间的收敛的解释。 还计划研讨会探索数学和其他科学之间的联系。 一个研究小组将仔细计划每个研讨会，以最大限度地提高其实现这一目标的有效性。 每个讲习班的中心将是一个公共网站，在导入阶段，该网站将概述讲习班的范围，并向与会者提供资源。 大多数研讨会将持续一周，并将有一个小的选择谈话与几个问题和讨论会。紧接着研讨会，网站将被扩展，既作为一个记录研讨会，并作为一个全面的资源，目前的状态，重要的问题和结果。 该网站将通过纳入未来的工作和新的发展来保持更新。 所有研讨会网站的集合将成长为现代数学中最重要的问题和结果的综合性和相互联系的资源。近年来，数学已经成为一个越来越多的合作奋进，今天许多重要的未解决的问题将需要数学科学的几个领域的技术。 ARCC重点研讨会将提供一个理想的论坛，为一个团队的研究人员，共同努力，制定战略，设定优先事项，努力解决问题，并设置在一个框架的进展，对重要的问题。 预计这些研讨会将为重点研究小组和其他研究所的特殊长期项目的重大努力奠定基础。 当它满负荷运转时，ARCC每年将赞助20-25个重点研讨会，每个研讨会旨在促进数学科学重要领域的合作进展。 为了确保这些合作取得成功，每个领域的领导者都将参与研讨会的规划。同样重要的是，年轻的科学家和研究生将积极参与研讨会，从而确保后续工作的长期发展，并为新数学家的教育做出贡献。 将特别注意促进包括妇女、少数民族和主要是本科院校的研究人员在内的合作。 这将允许更有效地利用国家的集体数学知识和资源。 AIM研究会议中心对集中合作研究的重视将促进重要数学问题的重大进展，并将对当前和未来几代数学家产生重大影响。

The AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC) will foster progress inthe mathematical sciences and contribute significantly to thecurrent and future productivity of mathematicians. Through thesponsorship of focused workshops, ARCC will provide a new venuefor research mathematics which will enhance and complementexisting conference centers and institutes. ARCC focusedworkshops will be distinguished by their emphasis on a specificmathematical goal, such as a significant unsolved problem, animportant new result, or the explanation of the convergencebetween two distinct areas of mathematics. Also planned areworkshops exploring connections between mathematics and othersciences. A small team of researchers will carefully plan eachworkshop so as to maximize its effectiveness in achieving thisgoal. Central to each workshop will be a public website which,during the lead-in phase, will outline the scope of the workshopand provide resources to the participants. Most workshops willlast for one week and will feature a small selection of talkscoupled with several problem and discussion sessions.Immediately following the workshop, the website will be expandedto serve both as a record of the workshop and as a comprehensiveresource for the current status of important problems andresults. The website will remain up-to-date through theincorporation of future work and new developments. Thecollection of all workshop websites will grow to become acomprehensive and interconnected resource for the most importantproblems and results in modern mathematics.In recent years, mathematics has become an increasinglycollaborative endeavor, and many of today's important unsolvedproblems will require techniques from several areas of themathematical sciences. The ARCC focused workshops will providean ideal forum for a team of researchers, working together, tomap out strategies, set priorities, work toward a solution, andset in place a framework for progress on important problems. Itis expected that these workshops will often lay the groundworkfor significant efforts, both by focused research groups andthrough special, longer term programs at other institutes. Whenit is operating at full capacity, ARCC will sponsor 20-25 focusedworkshops per year, each designed to facilitate collaborativeprogress on an important area of the mathematical sciences. Toensure that these collaborations will be successful, the leadersin each field will be involved in the planning of the workshops.Equally importantly, junior scientists and graduate students willbe actively involved in the workshops, thereby ensuring thelong-term development of the ensuing work and contributing to theeducation of new mathematicians. Special attention will bedevoted to facilitate collaborations which include women,minorities, and researchers at primarily undergraduateinstitutions. This will allow for a more effective use of thenation's collective mathematical knowledge and resources. TheAIM Research Conference Center's emphasis on focusedcollaborative research will foster significant progress onimportant mathematical problems and will be of significantbenefit to both current and future generations of mathematicians.
