Midwest Topology Seminar
The Midwest Topology Seminar is a topology seminar
which has run since the middle 1960's, meeting
Fall, Winter and Spring of each year. Traditionally, in
each year, two
of the meetings are in Chicago, and one is outside Chicago.

Funding
|
Recently the NSF has renewed its support for the Midwest Topology Seminar.
The money is especially intended for graduate students and
junior faculty without other support.
We expect
that the sponsoring institutions would provide other funds in
conjunction with this NSF support.
People seeking support should contact the organizers of the meeting in question.

Still to come
This page is primarily
intended as an easy way for people
to find the date, location and schedule of the next meeting,
but it also serves to
preserve some of the history as well.
If you have suggestions, or things to contribute, please contact

Other things which might go here are:
- An archive of past meetings.
I have what can be gleaned from Larry Taylor's MWTOPSEM archive, but
that only goes back to 1994.
It would be nice to get copies of the schedule of talks from early
meetings. If you have such, I can scan them if they are in good condition, or
find someone to transcribe them, if not.
- Something about the history of the Midwest Topology Seminar, as it
is a rather unique non-institution.
- Directions to the meeting sites. (After a few rounds this ought
to be pretty complete, and serve as an easy way to find directions to
any department in the midwest with algebraic topologists in it.)
- Pointers to other algebraic topology web pages.
