International Topology Conference Bedlewo 2005; Bedlewo, Poland

这次会议的目的是为了纪念卡罗尔·博尔苏克诞辰100周年，将世界各地的几何拓扑学研究人员聚集在一起，交流该领域的最新思想。组委会由Robert J. Daverman和Jerzy Dydak（田纳西大学）、Tadeusz Januszkiewicz（俄亥俄大学）、Krystyna Kuperberg（奥本大学）、Slawomir Nowak（华沙大学）以及Stanislaw Spiez和Henryk Torunczyk（波兰科学院主席）组成。主讲嘉宾包括m.b bestvina（犹他大学）、A.Dranishnikov（佛罗里达大学）、J.Cannon（杨百翰大学）、M.Davis（俄亥俄大学）、s.p ferry（罗格斯大学）和K.Kuperberg（奥本大学）。通过组织由Bestvina和Dranishnikov领导的两次研讨会，重点是让初级教师和研究生参与会议。这些研讨会将有专门的研究生会议，由初级教师（主讲人的前学生）领导。几何拓扑学国际会议和研讨会的主要议题是目前非常活跃的研究领域。会议的许多参与者将有很强的研究记录，预计思想的交流将导致重大的未来成果，并促进国际合作。将努力让研究生和其他年轻研究人员作为演讲者参加会议。通过从美国引进研究生，我们计划让来自东欧的学生意识到美国和这里特定大学的教育机会。这种与国际数学界的接触也将为美国学生和年轻研究人员提供一个极好的机会，了解其他国家的专业准备，并为未来的互动奠定基础。

The purpose of the conference is to honor Karol Borsuk's life and work on the 100th anniversary of his birth by bringing leading researchers in geometric topology from all over the world and exchange the latest ideas in the field. The Organizing Committee consists of Robert J. Daverman and Jerzy Dydak (University of Tennessee), Tadeusz Januszkiewicz (Ohio University), Krystyna Kuperberg (Auburn University), Slawomir Nowak (University of Warsaw), and Stanislaw Spiez and Henryk Torunczyk, Chair (Polish Academy of Sciences). The main speakers include M.Bestvina (University of Utah), A.Dranishnikov (University of Florida), J.Cannon (Brigham Young University), M.Davis (Ohio University), S.Ferry (Rutgers University), and K.Kuperberg (Auburn University).Emphasis is placed on involving junior faculty and graduate students in the meeting by organizing two workshops led by Bestvina and Dranishnikov. Those workshops will have special sessions for graduate students only led by junior faculty (former students of the main speakers).The main topics of the International Conference and Workshops on Geometric Topology are currently very active research areas. Many of the participants of the meeting will have strong research records, and it is expected that the exchange of ideas will lead to significant future results and stimulate international collaboration. An effort will be made to involve graduate students andother young researchers in the meeting as speakers. By bringing graduate students from the United States we plan to make students from Eastern Europe aware of the educational opportunities in the US and at specific universities here. This exposure to the international mathematical community will also present an excellent opportunity for American students and young researchers to learn about professional preparation in other countries and establish ground for future interaction.
