AIM research activities

AIM sponsors a variety of research activities:

• Workshops are held at the main AIM facility in Palo Alto, California. Workshops usually involve up to 28 researchers collaborating on a focused problem in the mathematical sciences. All workshops are open for anyone to apply for funding.

  Go to upcoming workshops or past workshops, or propose a workshop

• SQuaREs are groups of 4 to 6 researchers, who have not previously collaborated, who meet at AIM for a week of intense work. Typically the group meets at AIM up to three times over a 2 or 3 year period, and the first week includes the development of a long-term plan. Read more.

  Questions about the SQuaREs program can be sent to squares@aimath.org.

• AIM co-sponsors a small number of Conferences. These conferences take place all over the world and typically are funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation or another funding agency.

  At present no future conferences are scheduled. A list of past conferences is available

• Projects involve a small group of people working on a specific problem for several months, usually at the home institution of one of the participants. AIM funds projects occasionally, and only when there is a strong indication for making progress on a significant problem. Suggestions for projects can be sent to AIM director Brian Conrey.
