Registration and Funding

Please complete this registration form if you plan on attending this conference. Our conference is supported by NSF Grant DMS-2405684. We expect to be able to provide travel and lodging support for graduate students and early career researchers with support for more senior participants as our budget allows. The deadline to request funding has pasted. We ask that graduate students have their advisors send a short email explaining the relationship between the conference and their research project to redbud.osu@gmail.com.

Location, Travel and Accommodation

All talks will take place in the Math Statistics and Computer Sciences building (MSCS).

If not driving from their locations, participants should plan to fly to Stillwater Regional Airport (SWO). Local transportation will be arranged (to and from SWO).

The conference hotels are Best Western and Home2Hilton. Registered participants will receive a link to book rooms for the conference rate of $189/night. To receive this rate bookings must be made before Friday, March 22. We ask for graduate students to share rooms if possible.

Inclusiveness

The Redbud Topology Conference is supported by the University of Arkansas, the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University and the National Science Foundation. As scholars representing these institutions, we pay special attention to their firm commitments to equal opportunity and diversity. In order to uphold these ideals, we strive to make each Redbud Conference an inclusive event and will not tolerate discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), age, disability, genetic information or parental status. As part of this mission, the organizers are happy to provide details of local childcare options and lactation rooms for nursing mothers upon request.
