Conference Proposal -- MIT Women in Mathematics: A Celebration

主要研究人员计划于2008年4月12日至13日在麻省理工学院组织这次会议。讲座将涵盖分析、代数几何与组合、拓扑学、应用数学和理论计算机科学等广泛的主题，其中三场讲座将向公众开放。七场讨论会将有两个小组讨论女性在职业生涯不同阶段的生活。ppi希望吸引大三学生（本科生/研究生/博士后）女性和少数族裔。pi希望接触到全世界的观众，并通过围绕会议视频建立一个网络演示来建立会议的永久存在。ppi的愿景是围绕横向和纵向互动展开会议，鼓励对话和充足的非正式聚会时间。他们认为，这是吸引年轻女性进入数学领域，并通过指导和网络培养已经进入该领域的女性的最佳方式。他们还认为，榜样对科学事业的成功至关重要。

The Principal Investigators are planning to organize the conference at MIT during the weekend of April 12-13, 2008. The talks will range over a wide variety of subjects in Analysis, Algebraic Geometry and Combinatorics, Topology, Applied Mathematics, and theoretical computer science and three of these talks will be accessible to the general public. The seven colloquia will be accompanied by two panels discussing the lives of women in mathematics at different stages of their careers. The PIs hope to attract junior (undergraduate/graduate/postdocs) women and minorities. The PIs hope to reach a worldwide audience and to establish a permanent presence of the conference by setting up a web presentation around videos of the event. The PIs' vision is to center the meeting around horizontal and vertical interactions, encouraged by talks and ample time for informal gatherings. They believe that this is the best way to attract young women into mathematics and to nurture those already in the field through mentoring and networking. They also believe that role models are of vital importance for successful scientific careers.
