ICM 2010: Administration of Travel Grants for U.S. Participants

美国数学学会(The Society)提议管理一个项目，挑选大约115名美国数学家，每个人将获得约2750美元的旅费奖励，以参加2010年8月19日至27日在印度海得拉巴举行的国际数学家大会(ICM 2010)。该学会向国家科学基金会申请了323,150美元的资助(316,250美元用于旅费，6,900美元用于项目管理)。国际数学家大会每四年举行一次，是世界上最重要的会议之一吗？S领导数学家，在那里讨论数学研究的主要发展，跨越子学科。美国数学家出席这次会议对国家的科学健康非常重要，因为美国数学家讨论、学习和分享世界各地正在进行的数学研究。该协会曾为以前的ICM会议管理类似的旅行赠款计划，首先是在日本京都举行的ICM-90，最近是在西班牙马德里举行的ICM-06。该项目确保了美国数学家的强劲出席，促进了与世界其他地区数学科学家的接触，这不仅对未来数学家的教育很重要，而且对美国数学研究的长期活力也很重要。此外，将努力确保早期职业数学家、妇女和少数群体得到充分考虑，以支持他们的出席。

The American Mathematical Society (The Society) proposes to administer a program for selecting approximately 115 U.S. mathematicians for whom travel awards of about $2,750 each will be provided to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad, India, August 19-27, 2010 (ICM 2010). The Society requests a grant from the National Science Foundation in the amount of $323,150 ($316,250 for travel awards and $6,900 for administration of the program).The International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) is held once every four years, and is one of the most significant gatherings of the world?s leading mathematicians, where major developments in mathematical research, across sub-disciplines, is discussed. Attendance by U.S. mathematicians at this meeting is important for the scientific health of the nation because U.S. mathematicians discuss, learn and share in mathematical research that is going on all over the world. The Society has administered similar travel grant programs for previous ICM gatherings, beginning with ICM-90 in Kyoto, Japan and most recently for ICM-06 in Madrid, Spain. The program ensures that there is strong attendance by U.S. mathematicians, promoting contact with mathematical scientists from other parts of the world, which is important not only for the education of future mathematicians, but also for the long-term vitality of mathematical research in the United States. In addition, efforts will be made to ensure that early career mathematicians, women and minorities receive full consideration to support their attendance.
