Policies

COVID-19: We are asking all on-site participants to test each morning (and we will provide tests). Masks are optional. Please notify a conference organizer in case of symptoms or a positive test. For more details, here are the 2023 Consortium Conference COVID-19 Protocols.

Code of Conduct: The Summer Mathematics Programs Consortium supports equality of opportunity and treatment for all participants, and seeks to foster an atmosphere that encourages the free expression and exchange of ideas, and simultaneously seeks to ensure a safe and welcoming environment free of harassment, bullying, retaliation, and discrimination of any kind for all attendees of the Annual Conference. We are asking all participants to actively uphold this commitment to one another. In the event that something goes wrong, we have reporting procedures and response plans in place to address issues in a timely and sensitive manner. Here is the 2023 Consortium Conference Code of Conduct.

Recording Policy: The Consortium will be making recordings for the purposes of advertising and promotion of the Consortium and/or the Annual Conference, and there will be an (opt-in) group photo. As an extension of the Code of Conduct, we expect participants to treat one another with respect: obtaining permission before making recordings, not using recordings for malicious purposes, and honoring any requests for removal. Here is the 2023 Consortium Conference Recording Policy.

Reimbursements

There is no fee for this workshop, and we will provide funding to conference participants for travel, hotel rooms, and meals. Here is the Financial Policies document which details what expenses are eligible for funding.

Member Sign-Ups

Here's our plan for getting you from here to the conference:

• Step one is the initial interest form. Please fill out this interest form if you (individually) might be interested in participating! It gets you on our radar, gives us a sense of the shape of the event, and gets you to the next steps. One interest form per person, please; if multiple people from the same program would like to participate, they each fill out their own form. The final deadline for submitting this form is September 18, 2023.
• After you submit this form, we'll invite you to fill out an activities survey to help us shape the sessions. (We'll also ask if you're interested in running a discussion or giving a talk.) We would appreciate responses to the activities survey by September 12; the final-final deadline will be September 18.
• We'll also invite you to fill out a registration form about logistical details (hotels, travel, dietary restrictions, accessibility needs, etc) with a deadline of September 18th.
• Confirmed participants should arrange their own travel arrangements and hotel reservations. For rooms booked in our hotel block at the Residence Inn in Back Bay / Fenway, the cost of the room and tax will be paid directly through conference funding; you still need to make your own reservation individually.
• Finally: there is a reimbursement form to get your plane tickets, dinners, etc covered. The form can be submitted before the event, upon arrival, and/or up to a month following the event. Note that you may submit the form multiple times.
