This award will support the participation of US-based participants at the Third Workshop for Women in Computational Topology (WinCompTop 3) to be held at the Bernoulli Center at the EPFL Lausanne in Switzerland from July 17–21, 2023. WinCompTop 3 is a workshop that facilitates the formation of new and lasting research collaborations between junior and senior women working in the field of computational topology, a field that seeks to identify underlying patterns and mathematical structure in data from areas ranging from medical imaging to networks of sensor arrays. This workshop is designed to grow the network of women active in this field by providing both research opportunities and a unique environment for mentoring, collaboration, and cohort building. This type of event is critical, since despite numerous initiatives and undeniable progress over the past few decades, gender imbalance in mathematics and computer science remains significant. In particular, mathematics and computer science are two of three disciplines with the lowest percentage of women attaining PhDs, according to recent data collected by the National Science Foundation. There is considerable evidence that conferences and workshops, such as WinCompTop, geared toward women can and do make a significant impact, and participants report that they see strong benefits from these workshops, which support collaborations, broaden contacts, and raise visibility in the greater mathematical community.The WinCompTop 3 workshop fits under the broad umbrella of Research Collaboration Conferences for Women, which the Association for Women in Mathematics encourages and supports. The majority of the time at the workshop will be spent tackling open problems in small working groups headed by established leaders in the field. The schedule consists of long blocks of time for the working groups to do research. At two or more points during the week, all participants will convene and one member from each group will provide a brief summary of their team's progress. In addition, there will be a poster session for graduate students and early-career participants, as well as other crucial networking and mentoring opportunities between women at different points in their career as well as between peer colleagues. These relationships will foster a supportive and community-oriented atmosphere that is ideal for generating professional connections and collaborations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将支持美国参与者参加将于 2023 年 7 月 17 日至 21 日在瑞士洛桑联邦理工学院伯努利中心举行的第三届计算拓扑学女性研讨会 (WinCompTop 3)。WinCompTop 3 是一个研讨会这有助于在计算拓扑领域工作的初级和高级女性之间形成新的、持久的研究合作，该领域致力于识别来自以下领域的数据的基本模式和数学结构：该研讨会旨在通过提供研究机会和独特的指导、合作和队列建设环境来发展活跃在该领域的女性网络。尽管过去几十年来，数学和计算机科学领域的性别失衡仍然很严重，但根据《国家科学》最近收集的数据，数学和计算机科学是女性获得博士学位比例最低的三个学科中的两个。基金会有大量证据表明会议和面向女性的研讨会，例如 WinCompTop，可以而且确实会产生重大影响，参与者报告说，他们从这些研讨会中看到了巨大的好处，这些研讨会支持合作，扩大联系，并提高在更大的数学社区中的知名度。WinCompTop 3 研讨会适合在妇女数学协会鼓励和支持的妇女研究合作会议的框架下，研讨会的大部分时间将用于在由该领域的知名领导者领导的小型工作组中讨论开放问题。由长组成工作组在一周的两个或多个时间点聚集在一起，每个小组的一名成员将简要总结其团队的进展情况。此外，还将举行海报会议。研究生和早期职业参与者，以及处于职业生涯不同阶段的女性之间以及同事之间的其他重要的网络和指导机会，这些关系将营造一种支持性和以社区为导向的氛围，是建立专业联系的理想场所。和合作。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
