Research Collaboration Conference for Women in Symplectic and Contact Geometry and Topology Workshop (WiSCon)<https://icerm.brown.edu/topical_workshops/tw19-4-wiscon/> July 22 - 26, 2019 ICERM, Brown University The Women in Symplectic and Contact Geometry and Topology Workshop (WiSCon) is a Research Collaboration Conference for Women (RCCW) in the fields of contact and symplectic geometry/topology and related areas of low-dimensional topology. The goal of this workshop is to bring together women and nonbinary researchers at various career stages in these mathematical areas to collaborate in groups on projects designed and led by female leaders in the field. Participants will work in teams on research projects, with researchers leading the projects including: * Penka Georgieva (IMJ-PRG) * Eli Grigsby (Boston College) * Tara Holm (Cornell) * Jen Hom (Georgia Tech) * Ailsa Keating (Cambridge) * Christine Ruey Shan Lee (UT Austin) * Chiu-Chu Melissa Liu (Columbia) * Allison Moore (UC Davis) * Emmy Murphy (Northwestern) * Yu Pan (MIT) * Ina Petkova (Dartmouth) * Ana Rita Pires (University of Edinburgh) * Olga Plamenevskaya (Stony Brook) * Radmila Sazdanović (North Carolina State) * Laura Starkston (UC Davis) * Lisa Traynor (Bryn Mawr) * Vera Vértesi (University of Strasbourg) * Katrin Wehrheim (UC Berkeley) Applications are now open and will close on December 3, 2018. For additional information and registration, please visit: https://icerm.brown.edu/topical_workshops/tw19-4-wiscon/ We will be able to offer some funding for domestic/international travel, accommodation, and childcare. Senior graduate students and early career researchers (including tenure-track) are strongly encouraged to apply! When applying, please make sure to rank your top three project choices in your personal statement. This meeting is partially supported by NSF-HRD 1500481 - AWM ADVANCE grant.
