The Georgia Topology Conference is an annual event which has established itself as a mainstay of the American topology community over the past 50 years. It takes place at the University of Georgia in Athens in the Spring or Summer. The focus of the conference is a subfield of topology which varies from year to year; recent topics have included three- and four-dimensional manifolds, knot theory, contact and symplectic topology, and the calculus of functors. Each year, the conference gathers a core of senior researchers together with a larger group of young mathematicians, mostly recent Ph. D.'s and graduate students. Participation by members of under-represented groups is encouraged and funded; in particular the speakers and organizers generally include several women. The conference format is designed both to help disseminate important new research and to provide a formative experience for early-career mathematicians. Broadly speaking, topology is the study of the properties of a space (such as the universe that we live in) which are preserved when the space is continuously deformed. The subject has many connections to physics and has applications to such topics as robotics and image analysis. This conference is designed to serve as a venue for new approaches to fundamental questions in topology and to facilitate the career development of young mathematicians working in the field.More information is available on the conference website:http://www.ams.org/meetings/calendar/2011_may18-22_athens.html

佐治亚州拓扑会议是一年一度的活动，在过去的50年中，它已成为美国拓扑界的支柱。它于春季或夏季在雅典的佐治亚大学举行。会议的重点是拓扑的子场，每年都有不同。最近的主题包括三维和四维流形，结理论，接触和互合拓扑以及函子的演算。每年，会议都会与一群年轻的数学家（主要是最近的博士学位和研究生）一起收集高级研究人员的核心。 鼓励和资助代表性不足的团体成员的参与；特别是演讲者和组织者通常包括几个女性。 会议格式既旨在帮助传播重要的新研究，又为早期的数学家提供形成性的体验。 从广义上讲，拓扑是对空间（例如我们所生活的宇宙）的性质的研究，当空间持续变形时被保留。 该主题与物理有许多联系，并在机器人和图像分析等主题上有应用。 该会议旨在作为拓扑基本问题的新方法的场所，并促进了在该领域工作的年轻数学家的职业发展。更多信息可在会议网站上获得：http：//wwww.ams.org/meetings/calendings/calendings/calendars/calendar/2011_may18-22_htens.htmllens.htmllens.htmlls.htmlle
