Graduate Research Workshops in Combinatorics

组合学研究生研究讲习班(GRWC)将在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯(2020年)、科罗拉多州丹佛(2021年)和亚利桑那州艾姆斯(2022年)举行，延续2014至2019年由NSF资助的成功讲习班。每个研讨会将有大约45名研究生和博士后研究人员参加为期两周的紧张合作研究体验。学员将致力于解决现代组合学各分支学科的重要问题，包括代数组合学、图论、计数、组合矩阵理论和有限几何。在研讨会之前，学生将在来自美国各地院校的教师导师的指导下准备开放问题。这些问题将由参与的学生、博士后和教职员工组成的小组进行调查。GRWC核心合作的目标是在各种主题上产生高质量的、可发表的研究。研讨会的另一个长期目标是帮助学生和博士后参与者扩大他们的专业研究网络。一个强大的研究网络通常是建立一个多产和可持续的研究计划的关键部分，在职业生涯的早期阶段建立这些联系可以对专业人员的研究组合的质量、影响和深度产生长期的积极影响。参加GRWC将使学生能够培养一个庞大的组合数学社区的同龄人网络，他们将能够在整个职业生涯中与之互动和合作。GRWC还将提供专业发展研讨会，帮助学生和博士后为他们未来在学术界、工业界和政府的职业生涯做准备。有关GRWC的更多信息，包括研讨会形式的详细描述，请访问研讨会网站www.Angatoricsworkshop.org。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Graduate Research Workshop in Combinatorics (GRWC) will be held in Minneapolis, MN (2020), Denver, CO (2021) and Ames, IA (2022), building upon successful NSF-funded workshops from 2014 to 2019. Each workshop will involve approximately 45 graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in an intense two-week collaborative research experience. Participants will work to solve important problems from across the modern subdisciplines of combinatorics, including algebraic combinatorics, graph theory, enumeration, combinatorial matrix theory and finite geometry. Students will prepare open problems prior to the workshop under the guidance of faculty mentors from institutions around the United States. These problems will be investigated by small groups of participating students, postdocs, and faculty. The goal of the collaborations at the heart of the GRWC is to produce high-quality, publishable research on a variety of topics. Another longer-term goal of the workshop is to help student and postdoctoral participants expand their professional research networks. A strong research network is often a crucial part of building a generative and sustainable research program, and establishing these connections at an early career stage can have a long-term positive effect on the quality, impact, and depth of a professional's research portfolio. Participation in the GRWC will allow students to cultivate a large network of peers from the combinatorics community with whom they will be able to interact and collaborate throughout their careers. The GRWC will also offer professional development workshops to help students and postdocs prepare for their future careers in academia, industry and government.
