If you wish to propose a special year topic, please email sy@ias.edu with a brief overview of the field, an explanation of recent progress, and a justification for the timeliness of a special year. The proposal does not need to be long (1-2 pages is fine) and should focus on mathematical content.
All proposals should nominate a single Distinguished Visiting Professor, who will remain in residence for the entire year and will lead the program; information about up to 5 other potential senior participants is also useful.
