Western Algebraic Geometry Symposium

西部代数几何研讨会是一个区域性的代数几何会议，每年在美国西部的各个机构举行两次。下一次研讨会将于2016年10月在科罗拉多州立大学举行。每次研讨会都持续一个周末，以免与与会者的教学职责产生冲突。在每次会议期间，通常有六到七个研究会谈。其中一个讲座，“门德尔巴列科讲座”，通常是由一位高级研究人员，并打算给一个广泛的角度对一个特定的问题（或子领域）代数几何。在秋季版的海报会议提供了研究生和博士后展示他们的研究和与资深研究人员互动的机会。西方代数几何研讨会提供了一个机会，代数几何学家在这个大的地理区域走到一起的一个学期的研讨会的价值，同样重要的是，满足在长度与对方和年轻的研究人员。研讨会的发言人正在进行优秀的最新研究，并代表了广泛的研究领域，在代数几何和参与研究生领域有机会满足高级教师，并获得该领域的广泛意义。特别努力鼓励妇女、少数民族和青年研究人员的参与。西方代数几何研讨会在网站www.wagsymposium.org上保留了过去和即将举行的会议的信息。

The Western Algebraic Geometry Symposium is a regional conference in algebraic geometry that meets twice a year at various institutions in the Western United States. The next symposium will take place at Colorado State University in October 2016. Each symposium runs over a weekend in order not to create conflict with participants' teaching duties. During each meeting there are typically six or seven research talks. One of the talks, the "Mendelbaleko lecture", is typically given by a senior researcher and is intended to give a broad perspective on a particular problem in (or subfield of) algebraic geometry. During the Fall edition a poster session offers graduate students and postdocs the opportunity to showcase their research and interact with senior researchers.The Western Algebraic Geometry Symposia provides an opportunity for algebraic geometers in this large geographical area to come together for a semester's worth of seminars, and equally important, meet at length with each other and with younger researchers. The symposia's speakers are conducting excellent up-to-date research and represent a broad spectrum research areas in the field of algebraic geometry and participating graduate students have the opportunity to meet senior faculty and to get a broad sense of the field. Special efforts are made to encourage the participation of women, minorities, and young researchers.
