What Distinguishes MSRI?
Exceptional Breadth of Scientific Activity
• MSRI programs span every aspect of fundamental
mathematics and many applications resulting from the
latest discoveries of advanced research
• MSRI is a center where new fields are born (MSRI
was among the first to recognize Random Matrix
Theory as a significant field), and where classical
topics such as symplectic geometry can have a major
revival.
• We connect mathematicians and math educators
through workshops on “Critical Issues in K-12
Education”
3
What Distinguishes MSRI?
A place where young talent flourishes
• MSRI is a place where young talent is mentored,
where careers are developed, and where
underrepresented groups are empowered
• Summer Graduate Schools include strong
contact between students and leaders
• Groundbreaking, sustained programs
empowering women and minorities (MSRI- UP,
SWiM, ADJOINT, Connections workshops...)
4
What Distinguishes MSRI?
MSRI is supported by the whole Math Community
• A network of 110 “Academic Sponsor” institutions – from the
US and abroad share in governance
• Impeccable advisors such as Dusa MacDuff, Fields Medalists
Charlie Fefferman, Andrei Okounkov, Terry Tao (Board
members and program organizers) and a rotating Scientific
Advisory Committee (SAC) help us reach into all parts of
fundamental mathematics
5
What Distinguishes MSRI?
MSRI is a pioneer in international engagement
• Increases connections between US researchers and the
international community
• In 2020, MSRI partnered with universities in Australia, Canada,
China, England, Greece, and Switzerland on Summer Graduate
Schools in emerging areas, using non-NSF funds and international
support.
• Co-founders of the Banff International Research Station (BIRS) and
Casa Matemática Oaxaca (CMO), where MSRI remains a full
partner in governance and in scientific interactions
6
What Distinguishes MSRI?
Public Understanding of Mathematics
• Congressional Briefings 2x/year
• Numberphile—most popular informal math channel on
YouTube: over 3M subscribers, 450M ”views”
(Numberphile.com)
• Films, such as Navajo Math Circles, and Secrets of the
Surface, the Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani
• National Math Festival
• Mathical Books—a prize for children’s literature related to
mathematics
7
• To formalize and facilitate the flow of information between
the corporate world and MSRI we have developed a
corporate partnership program.
• Corporate members may choose from three tiers depending
on the level of interaction and sponsorship desired.
• Custom sponsorship and individualized packages are also
available.

Editor's Notes

  1. Please feel free to interrupt with questions as I speak! A little history: MSRI was born in an NSF competition, and had its first programs in 1982, 37 years ago. Over the last 15 years it has become a true public-private partnership
  2. Rather than the basics, I want to start with some of the things that I think make MSRI special. *We strive to be the premier Collaborative Math Institute concentrating on fundamental math, not ignoring applications Boldness in choosing fields such as Random Matrix Theory Range of workshops from Number Theory to Insect Navigation Program examples: Algebraic Geometry, The Langlands Program, plasma physics. Fluid Dynamics. Summer Graduate Schools examples: Data Science (2019), Machine Learning (2020), Animal Behavior at Janelia Laboratories of HHMI; Hot topics workshops examples: Optimal transport and applications; Machine learning and statistics, (2020); Workshop on Insect Navigation at HHMI
  3. We take mentoring VERY seriously. Highly structured mentoring of Postdoc; we work hard to connect Postdocs to distinguished participants Rapidly expanding system of summer graduate schools Groundbreaking programs for women and minorities; often later imitated (HRAC) or Shared (Blackwell-Tapia) with other institutes Many stories of career-changing experience; some in postdoc slide later
  4. Wide Community engagement and support: 10 Academic sponsors in 1982  110 today. Shared governance. Wide range of institution types are welcome, elite places like Harvard and MIT, but also some without PhD programs such as SF State and Portland State. Some of the worlds most distiinguished mathematicians feel it worth their time to participate in our governance structures
  5. To remain world leaders in math, the U.S. *must* cultivate international contacts. International visitors to MSRI greatly add to the programs, form connections with US mathematicians Our Summer Graduates schools abroad (jointly funded with the host countries) create bonds between US graduate students and some of the brightest students abroad MSRI played an important role in founding the Banff International Research Station in Canada, and the Casa Matematica Oaxaca in Mexico, funded jointly by NSF and Canada, Mexico: ongoing collaborations enrich MSRI as well as these great resources for the math community

  7. You’ll see that we do many things; but our largest efforts and expenditures, by far, are on science!
