SUMMARY:Diversity in the Mathematical Sciences 2024
DESCRIPTION:The goals of the summer school are two-fold. First\, to introduce students to research level mathematics and second\, to encourage more female and female-identifying students to pursue graduate school in the mathematical sciences. The research theme of the 2024 summer school will be Combinatorial Commutative Algebra\, as described below. By introducing the advanced mathematics in a supportive and engaging environment\, we aim to give students the tools and the support structure that will enable them to thrive in graduate school.

SUMMARY:Diversity in the Mathematical Sciences 2024
DESCRIPTION:Objectives: The mathematical institutes in Canada have joined forces to offer annual summer schools geared toward women and underrepresented groups in mathematics and related sciences. The first school will be at Dalhousie University in Summer 2024. \nThe goals of the summer school are two-fold. First\, to introduce students to research level mathematics and second\, to encourage more female and female-identifying students to pursue graduate school in the mathematical sciences. The research theme of the 2024 summer school will be Combinatorial Commutative Algebra\, as described below. By introducing the advanced mathematics in a supportive and engaging environment\, we aim to give students the tools and the support structure that will enable them to thrive in graduate school. \nSynopsis: The main tools to study zero sets of polynomials using algebraic tools come from Commutative Algebra. When the polynomials have only one term – monomials – one can use methods from combinatorics\, topology\, linear programing and more to study their algebraic properties. The development of such techniques\, going back to the 1960’s and still a vibrant area of research today\, is the focus of the field of Combinatorial Commutative Algebra. \nOur school will introduce some of these ideas to the participants via concrete examples and problems. We will cover topics including: edge ideals of graphs\, Hilbert functions\, computational commutative algebra and discrete homotopy theory. \nThe school will also include panels\, discussions of graduate school\, academic and nonacademic jobs and issues facing women in mathematics in general. We will have morning lectures\, afternoon tutorials and mini-topics. \nWe are seeking applications from female and female-identifying students who have finished at least two years of an undergraduate degree in the mathematical sciences. \nRequired background: Applicants having successfully completed a Honour’s-level proof-based course in linear algebra will be given full consideration. A third-year course in algebra covering rings and ideals will be considered an asset. \nApplicants should submit transcripts\, and arrange for a letter of recommendation addressing their potential to benefit from this school. \nFunding: The Summer School will cover room and board as well as travel expenses for all participants.

SUMMARY:Mini course "Vertex operator algebras and their representations"
DESCRIPTION:Vertex operator algebras have been a topic of interest in mathematical physics for several decades\, as they constitute one possible approach to formalize physical concepts from conformal field theory. They have relations to several other areas of mathematics\, most notably to the theory of finite simple groups. This specific relation lead in fact to the award of the Fields Medal to Professor Richard Borcherds at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin in 1998. Professor Gannon is the author of a well-known monograph on this topic. \nThe minicourse will consist of five lectures of 90 minutes each. The lectures will be aimed at students\, primarily at the graduate level. We hope to attract about 20 participants from Memorial University\, Atlantic Canada\, and other parts of Canada\, and possibly some international participants.

SUMMARY:Atlantic Topological Quantum Field Theory Spring School 2025
DESCRIPTION:Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT) emerged in the 1980s in an effort to interpret quantum field theory through cobordism categories. Today\, TQFTs play a central role in both mathematics and theoretical physics\, especially in understanding global symmetries and the low-energy behaviour of gapped systems. This week-long school\, aimed primarily at early-career graduate students\, will feature three lecture series plus TA-led problem sessions\, introducing students to cutting-edge topics brought together by TQFTs. Lecture topics will include fusion categories and condensed matter\, deformation quantization and symplectic geometry\, and stable homotopy theory. The school will foster interdisciplinary collaboration and equip students with a modern toolbox of topological methods in quantum field theory.

SUMMARY:IDMS Summer School 2026
DESCRIPTION:Increasing Diversity in Mathematical & Related Sciences 2026\n\nMay 17 – 22\, 2026\, UBC Okanagan \n  \n\nThis is a 5-day Summer School that will bring together a diverse group of undergraduate students who identify as women or other underrepresented gender identities studying math at a Canadian university.\n\nOverview:\n\nThis will be an inspiring week of learning new math from influential women and gender-diverse mathematicians\, and collaborating with peers from across the country!  You will connect professionally and socially\, build networks among your academic peers and with the instructors. We will offer a challenging academic program\, as well as professional development sessions and panel discussions with a focus on how to meet challenges faced by women and other underrepresented gender identities in the mathematical sciences. \nDetails: \n\nLocation: University of British Columbia—Okanagan\, Kelowna\, BC\nDates: May 17 – 22\, 2026\nTopics: Combinatorics and Graph Theory\, highlighting algebraic methods\nEligibility:\nThis workshop is open to undergraduates in a math or related science program at a Canadian university who have completed at least two years of university-level math education at the time of application and identify as a woman or as another underrepresented gender identity.\n\nStudents must apply to participate in this workshop; we have space for approximately 35 students. Consideration will be given to students from multiple equity-seeking groups or with limited access to such programs. A reference letter from a professor or instructor is required.\n\nApplication:\nStudents are asked to complete this application form and have one letter of reference from a professor or instructor submitted to this reference form. We also ask that you submit transcripts (these are only used to understand the academic background of participants).\n\nThe deadline to apply is Dec. 15.\n\nFunding:\nAccommodations and food will be provided to all workshop participants. We have some travel support available for participants\, but we are asking participants to try to find matching funding. You can ask the head of your department or the undergraduate co-ordinator at your university if there is funding available for undergraduate students to attend conferences. You can also ask a professor (perhaps a professor that told you about this workshop) or a summer research supervisor\, or your math club or student’s union if there is funding available.

SUMMARY:Atlantic Topological Quantum Field Theory Spring School
DESCRIPTION:Topological quantum field theory (TQFT) is a powerful organizing framework for many areas of mathematics and physics. Born from 1980s algebraic topology—through discoveries such as Donaldson invariants and the Jones polynomial—and with quantum physics interpretations initially provided by Atiyah\, Witten\, and others\, TQFTs are today a vital tool for studying quantum matter. TQFTs describe the effective theories of topological insulators\, give frameworks for theories of quantum computing\, and provide an ideal language for understanding symmetries of quantum systems\, including recent developments like higher form and quantum symmetries. TQFTs are thus a valuable and widely applicable tool. This Spring School introduces key aspects of TQFT to early‑ and mid‑career graduate students\, with priority for Atlantic Canadian and traditionally underrepresented groups.
