ICM 2002 Administration of Travel Grants for U.S. Participants

这个项目是为美国数学学会管理一个项目，以挑选大约130名美国数学家，他们将获得每人约2000美元的旅费奖励，参加2002年8月20-28日在北京举行的国际数学家大会，中国(ICM-02)。国际数学家大会每四年举行一次，是世界顶尖数学家最重要的聚会之一，会上讨论了各分支学科的重大数学发展。大会促进数学界不同亚社区之间的相互促进。美国在ICM-02上的重要代表对美国的科学健康非常重要。申请将由一个专业数学家小组进行评估，他们将利用他们的判断来评估专业资格，并确保早期职业和少数族裔申请者不会被忽视。这些奖励旨在支付旅费和部分生活费或注册费，但对早期职业数学家来说除外，他们将获得更多的生活费。AMS为日本京都的ICM-90、瑞士苏黎世的ICM-94和德国柏林的ICM-98实施了类似的计划。

This project is for The American Mathematical Society to administer a program for selecting approximately 130 U.S. mathematicians for whom travel awards of about $2000 each will be provided to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians in Beijing, China, August 20-28, 2002 (ICM-02). Held every four years, the International Congress of Mathematicians is one of the most important gatherings of the world's leading mathematicians, where major mathematical developments across subdisciplines are discussed. The Congress promotes cross-fertilization among the different subcommunities of the mathematical world. Significant U.S. representation at ICM-02 is important to the scientific health of the nation.Applications will be evaluated by a panel of professional mathematicians, who use their judgment both in evaluating professional qualifications and guaranteeing that early career and minority applicants are not overlooked. The awards are intended to cover travel, and a portion of subsistence or registration fee coverage, except in the case of early career mathematicians, who will be awarded more subsistence. The AMS administered similar programs for ICM-90 in Kyoto, Japan, ICM-94 in Zurich, Switzerland and ICM-98 in Berlin, Germany.
