Funding Application Form for the Focus Program on Toric Topology, Geometry and Polyhedral Products (Jul 22-Aug 23, 2024)

The Organizing Committee of the Focus Program on Toric Topology, Geometry and Polyhedral Products (the "Program") invites applications for merit-based participation awards for visitors attending for at least 1 week, with a priority for long term applicants (applicants who intend to stay for at least 2 consecutive weeks). Please note that funds are limited and if possible participants are encouraged to use their own funds along with Fields funding.

Applications will be considered after the target deadline until funds are depleted.

Application Process
Applications submitted by the target date will be given first priority. Support/funds are limited. Applicants are encouraged to apply early.

Eligibility Requirements

Requests for Support
Please only request the funding support you would need to be able to participate in program activities or to collaborate with others in the program. We are happy to consider requests for accommodation support and will assign the same nightly/weekly/monthly rate to all successful applicants so simply state the length of your visit. In exceptional cases we may support one economy round trip fare to and from Toronto, but we do not expect to support subsistence requests. If you need to shorten the length of your visit by more than a few days, please let the organizers know as soon as possible as your total support may be reduced.
