Description
The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) runs SQuaREs to support dedicated groups of four to six mathematicians working on ambitious research projects. Each group spends a week, Monday through Friday, at AIM’s facility in Pasadena, California, concentrating on specific shared research goals. Proposals are welcome in all areas of the mathematical sciences.
A SQuaRE may build on an existing collaboration developed through an AIM workshop or a similar activity, or provide an opportunity for a new collaboration to grow. AIM supplies research facilities and financial support for each group member. Groups may return in subsequent years, with support for up to three meetings over three consecutive years, allowing collaborators to continue developing their research together.
