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.

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从医学成像到传感器阵列网络等领域的数据中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心理，协作和队列建设的独特环境来发展活跃于这一领域的妇女网络。这种类型的事件至关重要，因为在过去的几十年中，许多计划和不可否认的进展，数学和计算机科学方面的性别失衡仍然很重要。根据国家科学基金会收集的最新数据，尤其是数学和计算机科学是三个学科中的两个，获得博士学位的女性比例最低。有大量证据表明，适用于女性的会议和研讨会可以并且确实产生了重大影响，并且参与者报告说，他们从这些研讨会中看到了很大的好处，这些研讨会支持合作，扩大联系，并提高更大的数学社区的可见性。Wincomptop 3研讨会在研究协作中的妇女和妇女的妇女及其协作的妇女的支持下，对女性的律师及其协作的妇女的支持。在研讨会上的大部分时间都将用于解决以该领域成熟领导人为首的小型工作组的公开问题。时间表包括工作组进行研究的长时间。在一周中，所有参与者都将在两个或更多点上进行，每个小组的一名成员将简要摘要对团队的进度进行简要介绍。此外，将为研究生和早期参与者提供海报会议，以及在职业生涯的不同地点以及同伴同事之间的女性之间的其他关键网络和心理机会。这些关系将促进一种支持性和社区的氛围，是建立专业人际关系和协作的理想选择。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估审查标准，被认为是珍贵的支持。
