This page will be updated with information regarding lodging, abstract
submission, weather, maps, schedule, etc.
Limited financial support is available to partially offset travel expenses of
some participants. The criteria for granting support include whether the participant
has alternative financial support for the conference, and whether the participant
is presenting a talk at the conference. Preference is given to graduate students
and early career researchers. The amount of support is contingent on the budget
constraints. University accounting regulations require completing certain forms
appropriately and submitting original receipts of expenses before issuing checks.
To apply for support, email the organizers at
best@diamond.boisestate.edu
Applications from graduate students must be supported by a separate email from their
thesis advisor.
Anyone interested in participating should contact the organizers as soon
as possible by sending an email to
best@math.boisestate.edu
The organizers will be editors for a volume in the Contemporary Mathematics
series. Research papers on topics related to Set Theory and its Applications
will be considered for publication in this volume. All papers will go through
a thorough referee process. Former and current participants of the BEST conferences
or their collaborators are especially encouraged to consider submitting a research
paper. Anyone interested in submitting a paper should contact Marion Scheepers as
soon as possible at marion@math.boisestate.edu with this information. More information
will be posted at the conference web site.
The conference is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Abstract
services are provided by Atlas Conferences, Inc. Contemporary Mathematics is published
by the American Mathematical Society. Support from these three organizations is
gratefully acknowledged.
