Women in Theory 2016

私人投资机构正在组织第五届妇女理论双年期讲习班。这次研讨会将于2016年5月在西蒙斯计算理论研究所举行。研讨会的目标受众是理论计算机科学(TCS)领域的研究生。在塔塔咨询公司全球女性教职员工、研究人员和学生总数较低的情况下，研讨会有两个目标。第一个是通过邀请领先的女性研究人员介绍她们的研究主题的教程，向学生参与者提供一个鼓舞人心的教育计划。第二是提供一个难得的机会，将来自全国和国际不同机构的女学生聚集在一起，以培养亲情和同志情谊，并通过高级和初级教员和工业研究人员出席，提供接触这一领域的榜样的机会。这次研讨会的形式包括技术教程、非技术讲座、学生后遗症会议和小组讨论。头四个妇女理论研讨会受到与会者和塔塔咨询服务研究界的热烈欢迎。自2008年第一次研讨会以来，私人投资机构收到了压倒性的积极反馈，许多参与者已经成熟成为成功的研究人员。这些证明了讲习班正在实现其主要目标，即帮助妇女在技术培训中取得更大的成功。

The PIs are organizing the 5th Biennial Women-in-Theory Workshop. This workshop is to take place at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing in May 2016. The intended audience of the workshop is graduate students in the field of theoretical computer science (TCS). Motivated by the low overall number of female faculty members, researchers, and students in TCS world wide, the workshop has two goals. The first is to deliver an invigorating educational program to the student participants by inviting leading female researchers to present tutorials of their research topics. The second is to provide an outstanding opportunity to bring together women students from different institutions across the country and internationally, so as to foster a sense of kinship and camaraderie, and to provide access to role models in this area by having senior and junior faculty members and industrial researchers present. The format of this workshop consists of technical tutorials, a non-technical talk, a student rump session, and a panel discussion.The first four Women-in-Theory workshops were greeted with great enthusiasm both from the participants and from the TCS research community at large. Since the first workshop in 2008, the PIs have received overwhelmingly positive feedback and many participants have matured to be successful researchers. These serve as testimonials that the workshop is accomplishing its primary goal of helping women become more successful in TCS.
