Instructions for Conference Listings

Conferences should be listed (and updated!) in chronological order. Upcoming conferences should be listed from nearest to most distant, while past conferences should be listed from most recently past to the longest past. Begin your listing with a subsection header so that it appears in the table of contents. If you'd like to have a separate wiki page for your conference, you're more than welcome, but please place the link to that page in the appropriate place.

Upcoming Conferences

The AMS keeps a fairly comprehensive list of current confereces on their calendar.


7th Annual Science & Technology in Society Graduate Student Conference 03.31.2007 - 04.01.2007

Washington, DC

Science & Technology in Society:
An International Multidisciplinary Graduate Student Conference

Sponsored by:
The American Association for the Advancement of Science
Arizona State University, Consortium for Science, Policy & Outcomes
George Mason University
The George Washington University
Virginia Tech

When: March 31 - April 1, 2007
Where: American Association for the Advancement of Science, Headquarters, Washington, DC

Abstract Deadline: January 16, 2007

This annual conference provides a venue for graduate students from Science & Technology Studies, Science & Technology Policy, Environmental Studies/Policy and related fields to present and receive constructive feedback on their research. In developing the agenda for the conference, the organizing committee's primary goal is to create a forum that encourages intellectual exchange between STS, S&T Policy and Environmental Studies/Policy by assembling diverse and exciting panels around similar themes. As such, the committee will accept the strongest proposals on issues relevant to either field, and build the agenda around them. The agenda for last year's conference (www.stglobal.org) provides examples of common themes and topics that may be covered this year. In addition to presenting papers, students will have the opportunity to interact with each other and prominent scholars and professionals related to their field(s) of interest. Every year we invite prominent figures from both STS and S&T Policy to deliver keynote addresses. Because we draw participants from all over the world, this conference is an excellent opportunity for young scholars aspiring to work in academic, governmental, or non-governmental settings to build both national and international networks for future research and collaborations. The conference organizing committee welcomes submissions of abstracts (up to 250 words) for a 15-minute presentation. Please submit abstracts and contact information to our website at www.stglobal.org by January 16, 2007. Notification of abstract acceptance will be given by February 7, 2007. Information concerning area lodging and registration is posted on the conference website. Travel funds are available for a limited number of presenters. Indicate your need for travel funds when submitting your abstract. For further information, either e-mail abstract@stglobal.org or visit the conference [www.stglobal.org website]

Joint AMS/New Zealand MS Session on Quantum Topology, Auckland December 2007

Plenary speaker Mike Freedman, organisers Scott Morrison and David Gauld.


Quantum groups, affine Lie algebras and applications 2007 - 2008 Academic Year

Mathematical Research Institute (MRI), The Netherlands

This Master Class provides an introduction to quantum groups, semisimple and affine Lie algebras and quantum field theories, leading up to the construction of concrete and powerful topological invariants for 3-manifolds and knots. Besides the theoretical development, special attention is paid to the algorithmic and computational aspects of topological invariants using computer algebra.

In the one-year-long Master Class, this topic is studied intensively and profoundly at an advanced level. The Master Class can form a significant contribution to a PhD programme or preparation for one.

First semester courses

  • Quantum groups and knot theory (including computer class knot theory).
    Lecturers: Eric Opdam, Jasper Stokman, Arjeh Cohen.
  • Semisimple and affine Lie algebras.
    Lecturers: Erik van den Ban, Johan van de Leur, Gerard Helminck.
  • Topics in low-dimensional topology and topological quantum field theory.
    Lecturers: Michael Mueger, Hessel Posthuma.
  • Seminar on Knots and geometrization (volume conjecture).
    Coordinators: Eric Opdam, Gert Heckman*, Jasper Stokman, Frans Clauwens.

Second semester courses

  • Moduli spaces and conformal blocks.
    Lecturer: Eduard Looijenga.
  • Virasoro algebras and positive energy representations.
    Lecturers: Gert Heckman, Johan van de Leur.
  • Quantum groups and modular tensor categories.
    Lecturers: Eric Opdam, Jasper Stokman, Erik Koelink.
  • Seminar with guest speakers.

(Heckman to be confirmed).

Applicants should have completed at least three years of undergraduate studies in pure mathematics or theoretical and mathematical physics. The final application deadline is December 1 2006. You can find more information via

http://staff.science.uva.nl/~jstokman/mc2007-2008.html

Clay Mathematics Institute Summer School in Evolution Equations 06.23.2008 - 07.18.2008

Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zürich, Switzerland

Funding is available to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows (within 5 years of their PhD). Standard support amounts will include funds for local expenses and accommodation plus economy travel.

I have included a brief summary of the school below. Applicants should send the completed application form and required documents to CMI by February 15, 2008. Applications will be accepted by standard mail, email, or fax.

For more information and an application form, please visit the website or e-mail summerschool@claymath.org

Designed for graduate students and postdocs, the program will focus on recent progress in the theory of evolution equations. Such equations lie at the heart of many areas of mathematical physics, arising not only in situations with a manifest time evolution (such as linear and nonlinear wave and Schrödinger equations) but also in the high energy or semi-classical limits of elliptic problems.


European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information 08.04.2008 - 08.15.2008

Lie Groups, Lie Algebras and their Representations 11.11.2006 - 11.12.2006

University of California, Berkeley, CA

The Fall 2006 workshop in the program Lie Groups, Lie Algebras and Their Representations will take place on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, November 11 and 12, 2006. This will be a joint workshop with the Representation Theory, Geometry and Combinatorics RTG at Berkeley. Joseph Wolf is the local organizer.

The workshops "Lie Groups, Lie Algebras and their Representations" meet at various western United States campuses for one weekend every few months during the academic year. This year we are between NSF workshop grants and only two workshops are planned.

The purpose of the program is to communicate results and ideas rather than to deliver polished presentations. The program also serves to acquaint graduate students in this area with a range of researchers in Lie theory and representation theory.

The lectures will be held in 1015 Evans Hall. Participants will be able to enter the building at the ground level on the west (downhill) side.

We will update the program listing as information becomes available.

There is no registration fee. Support for non-local graduate students is available, and graduate students are encouraged to attend. Contact the local organizer regarding support.

Parking: street parking is available weekends on the north side of the Berkeley campus. One algorithm: go 1 to 4 blocks north from the campus on Euclid, and turn left.
