IIT Joins The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences

Illinois Institute of Technology recently become an affiliate university of the The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences. The Fields Institute provides many different opportunities for students and teachers through offering a variety of scientific programs, fellowships, and research prize competitions. Although Fields Institute activities are open to the mathematical sciences community, the agreement between an Affiliate University and the Institute establishes a closer relationship of great mutual benefit. Some of the numerous benefits of this partnership include: participate in the organizing committees of thematic and focus programs, receive funding and full logistical support for Fields general scientific activities, apply for sabbatical stays at the Institute, etc. There are also funding opportunities for students, early career researchers, and women faculty.
