AIM Research Communities (ARCs) are larger collaborative efforts involving at least 40 people, focused on virtual activities, organized around a particular area of mathematics research. The purpose of an ARC is to support the ongoing research activities of its participants, especially people who lack nearby collaborators or who cannot travel.
ARCs can take various forms, such as:
- Emphasizing research group formation (like an online AIM workshop over a long timescale).
- Supporting graduate students and junior researchers through collaborative research learning activities such as mini-courses, tutorials, reading groups, etc.
- Supporting the development of a research network focused on a particular area, often bringing together experts with different backgrounds who can help bridge gaps and strengthen collaborations among those with different but related research areas.
Many ARCs have long lifetimes and grow over time.
AIM is currently accepting proposals for AIM Research Communities, with a deadline of November 1. Proposals can be submitted using the research community proposal form. Groups considering proposing a Research Community may find it helpful to meet with Leslie Hogben (hogben@aimath.org) before submitting a proposal.
