The award provides support for participants to the Current Developments in Mathematics Conference series that will take place at the Science Center of Harvard University on the following dates: November 21-22, 2014November 20-21, 2015November 18-19, 2016.The Current Developments in Mathematics conference has been taking place yearly since 1995 at Harvard University and brings together mathematicians from all over the world during the weekend preceding Thanksgiving.The speakers of the Current Developments in Mathematics conference are invited to report on recent breakthroughs in various fields of mathematics and closely related disciplines, which are expected to impact mathematical research. The timeliness and importance of the conference is particularly manifest this year, 2014, since two of the confirmed invited speakers have very recently been awarded the Fields Medal, the most prestigious distinction in mathematics. This conference provides an opportunity for a large audience of young students, researchers and specialists to get familiar with recent mathematical achievements, to obtain new ideas, to interact with each other and forge new collaborations. The conference has been further very successful in hosting the participants in the Boston mathematics community; allowing them to further their careers, get to know experts in their fields and foster new collaborations in an informal atmosphere. The conference provides the participants with a broader research overview, which should be of significance for their own mathematical work. The conference is advertised widely so that many students and young researchers can attend it. The format of the conference has been very successful. The speakers are usually asked to divide their lectures into two parts, one of which is intended to be accessible to a broader audience and giving a general idea of the recent work and the other part containing more details. This endeavor is a challenge that the speakers have mastered very well in the past. In a time where research in mathematics and other fields becomes more and more specialized it is of great importance to make the effort to maintain an overview of the grand scheme of things. The conference can be thus regarded as an intensive two-day colloquium style overview of many exciting developments. The results presented at the conference are collected in manuscripts beforehand and are distributed to the participants during the conference. The proceedings are later published.

该奖项为参加数学当前发展系列会议的参与者提供支持，该系列会议将于以下日期在哈佛大学科学中心举行：2014年11月21日至22日、2015年11月20日至21日、2016年11月18日至19日。数学博士会议自 1995 年以来每年在哈佛大学举行，会议期间汇集了来自世界各地的数学家感恩节前的周末。数学当前发展会议的发言人受邀报告数学各个领域和密切相关学科的最新突破，这些突破预计将影响数学研究。 2014 年会议的及时性和重要性尤其明显，因为两位已确认受邀演讲者最近被授予菲尔兹奖，这是数学界最负盛名的荣誉。这次会议为广大年轻学生、研究人员和专家提供了一个熟悉最新数学成就、获得新想法、相互互动和建立新合作的机会。这次会议在接待波士顿数学界的参与者方面也非常成功；让他们能够进一步发展自己的职业生涯，结识各自领域的专家，并在非正式的氛围中促进新的合作。此次会议为与会者提供了更广阔的研究视野，这对于他们自己的数学工作应该具有重要意义。该会议进行了广泛的宣传，以便许多学生和年轻研究人员能够参加。会议的形式非常成功。演讲者通常被要求将他们的演讲分为两部分，其中一部分旨在让更广泛的听众了解并给出最近工作的总体概念，另一部分包含更多细节。这项努力是演讲者过去很好掌握的一项挑战。在数学和其他领域的研究变得越来越专业的时代，努力保持对事物宏伟计划的概览非常重要。因此，这次会议可以被视为为期两天的集中座谈会式概述，概述了许多令人兴奋的发展。会议上提出的结果预先收集成手稿，并在会议期间分发给与会者。会议记录随后公布。有关 2014 年会议的更多详细信息，请访问 http://www.math.harvard.edu/cdm/。
