AMS-SOMACHI Joint Meeting Travel Grants

第一届美国数学学会（AMS）和Matemática智利学会（SOMACHI）国际会议将于2010年12月15日至18日在智利Pucón举行。这笔资金将用于资助11位美国数学家（9位早期数学家和2位高级数学家）参加本次联合国际会议的旅费和生活费，目的是形成长期的南北数学研究合作。所有获得资助的数学家将积极参与会议的数学议程；两位资深数学家还将担任研究团队的导师。每次旅行奖助金的金额为2,600美元。美国数学学会将管理这笔资助，并要求每次旅行资助60美元以支付其行政费用。奖助金的总额为29,260美元。该项目将由俄亥俄州立大学的Herb Clemens教授和智利Pontificia大学Católica的Rubí E. Rodríguez教授与AMS-SOMACHI项目委员会协商后监督。克莱门斯教授和Rodríguez将组成6个研究小组，每个小组由一名高级导师组成。拉丁美洲的一至两名年轻数学家（高级研究生或年轻专业人员）和美国的一至两名年轻数学家（高级研究生或年轻专业人员）。每个研究团队将围绕一个共同感兴趣的研究问题聚集在一起，该研究问题与智利联合国际会议的一个特别会议有关。团队导师将被要求在2011年为他/她的研究团队的持续联系和合作制定框架。结果将包括研究和先进的说明性出版物。这个项目将成为加强拉丁美洲和美国数学界之间长期研究关系的工具。该奖项由美国国家科学基金会国际科学与工程办公室共同资助。

First International Meeting of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and La Sociedad de Matemática de Chile (SOMACHI) will take place in Pucón, Chile on December 15-18, 2010. This grant will fund the travel and subsistence expenses of eleven U.S.-based mathematicians (nine early-career and two senior mathematicians) to attend this Joint International Meeting, with the object of forming longer-term north-south research collaborations in mathematics. All of the funded mathematicians will participate actively in the mathematical agenda of the meeting; the two senior mathematicians will also serve as mentors for research teams. The amount of each travel grant will be US$2,600. The American Mathematical Society will administer the grant, and requests US$60 per travel grant to cover its administrative costs. The total amount of the grant is US$29,260. The project will be overseen by Professor Herb Clemens of Ohio State University and Professor Rubí E. Rodríguez of Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in consultation with the AMS-SOMACHI program committee. Professors Clemens and Rodríguez will form six research teams, with each research team consisting of a senior mentor, one to two younger mathematicians (advanced graduate students or young professionals) based in Latin America and one to two younger mathematicians (advanced graduate students or young professionals) based in the U.S. Each research team will be brought together around a research problem of common interest related to one of the Special Sessions at the Joint International Meeting in Chile. Team mentors will be asked to frame the continuing contact and collaboration of his/her research team throughout 2011. Outcomes will include both research and advanced expository publications. This project will be a vehicle for strengthening longer-term research relations between the Latin American and U. S. mathematical communities. This award is co-funded by the NSF Office of International Science and Engineering.
