Apply to the Program
All scientific events are open to the mathematical sciences
community. Visitors who are interested in office space or
funding are requested to apply by filling out the application
form. Additional support is available (pending NSF funding)
to support junior US visitors to this program.
Fields scientific programs are devoted to research in the mathematical
sciences, and enhanced graduate and post-doctoral training opportunities.
Part of the mandate of the Institute is to broaden and enlarge
the community, and to encourage the participation of women and
members of visible minority groups in our scientific programs.
