Description
The Simons Foundation’s Mathematics and Physical Sciences division invites proposals for symposium series focused on one topic or a tightly connected group of topics. The program brings together mathematicians, theoretical physicists and theoretical computer scientists to collaborate, explore new developments and spark research. The foundation expects to select up to two series in mathematics and two in theoretical physics.
Each series comprises up to three weeklong meetings held every two years, with continuation dependent on success. Meetings emphasize collaboration and open-ended discussion, with no more than four lectures per day over five days. Topics may center on a new research development, address a specific research problem or help establish an agenda for a field.
