Equity, diversity and inclusion:
Equity, diversity and inclusion are essential to academic excellence in the mathematical sciences. GAP and PIMS support an open and diverse community, which includes voices that have been underrepresented or discouraged. GAP and PIMS envision a climate in which all participants are provided with the best possible conditions for learning and research. We strive to provide a supportive and safe environment that is dedicated to excellence, equity and mutual respect. We expect all members of the PIMS Community (event organizers, event participants, faculty, staff, students, visitors) to conduct themselves in a responsible manner so as not to cause, condone or participate in the discrimination, harassment or prejudice of another person or group of persons.
GAP XVII is supported by
the National Science Foundation the Department of Mathematics of the Pennsylvania State University the Department of Mathematics of the University of British Columbia and the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences
