Financial Support: We gratefully acknowledge the generous funding from the National Science Foundation that makes this event possible.

The NSF grant allows us to offer some financial support to participants from US Universities. We will give preference to graduate students, postdocs, women and minorities, and junior faculty.

Applicants for this financial support should provide:

  • a one-page letter explaining their interest in the seminar and its relation to their research interests
  • a current CV
  • graduate students and postdocs should also arrange for a letter of recommendation to be sent from their advisor or some expert familiar with their work

Materials should be sent either by e-mail (preferred) or postal mail to:
