Travel: International Conference on Complex and Differential Geometry

US · IL National Science Foundation (NSF) grant awarded #nsf-2601710

Summary

This NSF award funds travel support for U.S.-based researchers to attend the International Conference on Complex and Differential Geometry (ICCDG) at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy, May 25–29, 2026. The conference, organized in partnership with the Clay Mathematics Institute, will bring together leading experts and early-career mathematicians in complex and differential geometry. The award aims to ensure strong U.S. representation, disseminate recent research advances, and foster international scientific collaboration and mentorship of the next generation of U.S. geometers.

What they want

The award provides travel funding for U.S. researchers (both established and early-career) to participate in the five-day ICCDG conference. Activities supported include attendance at plenary lectures, focused seminars, problem sessions, and informal discussions. Supported participants include distinguished U.S.-based speakers. Selection of supported individuals must be conducted without regard to race, national origin, sex, disability, or age.
Deliverables
  • Ensure strong U.S. researcher presence at ICCDG 2026
  • Support travel of distinguished U.S.-based speakers
  • Foster international collaborations in complex and differential geometry
  • Promote participation of early-career U.S. mathematicians
Technical requirements
  • Conference activities include plenary lectures, focused seminars, problem sessions, and informal discussions
  • Participants must work in complex and/or differential geometry
  • Award supports both established and early-career U.S.-based researchers
  • No participant may be selected or excluded based on race, national origin, sex, disability, or age

How they evaluate

  • Intellectual merit
  • Broader impacts (per NSF review criteria)

Risks & flags

  • This is a post-award notice rather than a competitive solicitation — no open bidding opportunity exists
  • Award is narrowly scoped to a single specific conference event (ICCDG, May 25–29, 2026)
  • Partnership with Clay Mathematics Institute may imply a pre-selected organizational structure limiting new entrants
