Women in Topology

Date: 18 - 23 August 2013

Location: Banff International Research Station,

Homotopy theory is a very active field of modern mathematics, which not only has contributed  significantly to many other fields of mathematics and theoretical physics but is also now being applied to problems in engineering and computer science. As in any other fields of mathematics research, women are underrepresented in homotopy theory. In recent years, however, there has been a small but steady increase in the number of female researchers in the field. This workshop aims to capitalize on this trend, by bringing senior and junior researchers together with graduate students to work on open problems, thus providing a context for collaborations and establishing networks for future research. The ultimate goal is to increase the number and visibility of active female researchers in homotopy 
theory.
