Building upon the success of the tri-annual MidWest topology seminars, graduate students in Geometry and Topology from several MidWest institutions began an annual Graduate Student Topology Conference. Now in its sixth year, the University of Illinois will be hosting the conference in 2008. The plenary speakers will be Mike Hopkins from Harvard and Yael Karshon from Toronto. In addition, 27 talks by graduate students, run in parallel sessions, will be delivered. The grant is primarily to provide travel assistance for participants and speakers. The conference will run two days and provide ample opportunities for informal discussions and new introductions to occur. Historically, these conferences have provided an excellent opportunity for positive support and fruitful collaborations to begin. The result has often been to increase student's success rate both in school and during the critical transition soon after finishing ones doctorate. Because of the traditionally high participation rate among usually under represented demographics at these conferences combined with the conferences effectiveness as an aid to students during a critical transition period, partially supporting the approximately 160 participants is an effective investment in the science.The Graduate Student Topology Conference is a two-day event in which graduate students from across the country meet to share their work, gain experience presenting at conferences, and hear from some of the most distinguished geometry and topology professors in the nation. Now in its sixth year, the conference draws around 160 graduate students from across the United States. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will be hosting the conference in 2008, with grant funds primarily aimed at providing travel assistance for participants. The conference consists of twenty-seven talks given by graduate students, in addition to two plenary talks by visiting professors; this year the plenary talks are given by Mike Hopkins from Harvard University and Yael Karshon from the University of Toronto. Through its unique combination of research and expository talks, the Graduate Student Topology Conference creates a supportive environment to encourage future researchers and to allow them to make contacts amongst one-another that can lead to future collaboration. Additionally, the experience of presenting at a conference allows speakers to refine their speaking skills and grow into more effective communicators. The conference also encourages communication among different geographic regions. Participants come from very diverse schools all across the country and include graduate students at all years of study with a high participation rate among usually under represented demographics.

基于三年级中西部拓扑研讨会的成功，来自中西部几个机构的几何学和拓扑的研究生开始了年度的研究生拓扑会议。伊利诺伊大学的第六年现在将于2008年举办会议。全体议长将是哈佛大学的迈克·霍普金斯（Mike Hopkins）和来自多伦多的Yael Karshon。此外，将进行27次研究生的会谈，并在平行课程中进行。该赠款主要是为参与者和演讲者提供旅行援助。会议将进行两天，并为进行非正式讨论和新介绍提供足够的机会。从历史上看，这些会议为积极支持和富有成果的合作提供了绝佳的机会。结果通常是在完成博士学位后不久和关键过渡期间提高学生的成功率。由于传统上通常在这些会议上代表的人口统计学的参与率很高，并在关键过渡期间对学生的有效性加以对学生的帮助，部分支持大约160名参与者是对科学的有效投资。研究生的学生拓扑会议是为期两天的活动，在整个国家 /地区的研究生中，他们在整个国家 /地区都在与他们分享的工作，并享受着一些经验，并在某种程度上享受了一些经验，并在某种程度上享受了一位会议，并在会议上享受了一项典范，并在会议上享受了一项，并且在大多数情况下，在会议上享受了一段时间，并且在会议上享受了一些活动，并享受了一项经验，并在会议上获得了一些范围，并且在会议上享受了一些活动，并在会议上享受了一项活动，并在会议上获得了一些活动。国家。现在已经是第六年了，该会议吸引了来自美国各地的大约160名研究生。伊利诺伊大学Urbana-Champaign大学将于2008年举办会议，其资金主要旨在为参与者提供旅行援助。该会议包括研究生的二十七次会谈，除了访问教授的两次全体会谈外；今年，哈佛大学的迈克·霍普金斯（Mike Hopkins）和多伦多大学的Yael Karshon进行了全体会谈。通过其独特的研究和说明性谈判的结合，研究生拓扑会议创造了一个支持环境，以鼓励未来的研究人员，并允许他们在另一个人之间进行联系，从而导致未来的合作。此外，在会议上介绍的经验使演讲者可以完善他们的口语技巧，并成长为更有效的沟通者。会议还鼓励不同地理区域之间的沟通。参与者来自全国各地非常多样化的学校，并在所有多年学习中都包括研究生，在通常代表的人口统计学中，参与率很高。
