The PIs are organizing the 4th Biennial Women-in-Theory Workshop. This workshop is to take place in New York City in May 2014 immediately before the 46th ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC 2014), in coordination with New York University and Princeton University. The intended audience of the workshop is graduate students in the field of theoretical computer science (TCS). Motivated by the low overall number of female faculty members, researchers, and students in TCS world wide, the workshop has two goals. The first is to deliver an invigorating educational program to the student participants by inviting leading female researchers to present tutorials of their research topics. The second is to provide an outstanding opportunity to bring together women students from different institutions across the country and internationally, so as to foster a sense of kinship and camaraderie, and to provide access to role models in this area by having senior and junior faculty members and industrial researchers present. The format of this workshop consists of more than ten technical tutorials, one non-technical talk, a student rump session, and a panel discussion.The first three Women-in-Theory workshops were greeted with great enthusiasm both from the participants and from the TCS research community at large. Response has been strong for this year's workshop from female students at universities across the United States. Since the first workshop in 2008, the PIs have received overwhelmingly positive feedback and many participants have matured to be successful researchers. These serve as testimonials that the workshop is accomplishing its primary goal of helping women become more successful in TCS.

PI正在组织第四个双年展的女性理论研讨会。该研讨会将于2014年5月在第46届ACM计算理论研讨会（Stoc 2014）与纽约大学和普林斯顿大学协调之前在纽约市举行。研讨会的预期受众是理论计算机科学领域（TCS）领域的研究生。 该研讨会的动机是由全球TCS的女教师，研究人员和学生的总数较少，他有两个目标。 首先是通过邀请领先的女性研究人员介绍其研究主题的教程，向学生参与者提供一个令人振奋的教育计划。第二个是提供一个出色的机会，将来自全国各个机构和国际上不同机构的女学生汇集在一起​​，以培养亲属关系和友情的感觉，并通过让高级和初级教师和工业研究人员在场。 该研讨会的格式包括十多个技术教程，一个非技术性演讲，一个学生臀部会议和小组讨论。参与者和TCS研究社区的前三个女性理论讲习班都受到了极大的热情。今年在美国大学的女学生的研讨会上的反应一直很强。 自2008年第一次研讨会以来，PI收到了压倒性的积极反馈，许多参与者已经成长为成功的研究人员。这些是讲习班正在实现其主要目标的证明，以帮助女性在TCS中变得更加成功。
