Mathematicians Call for Boycott and Relocation of Major U.S. Conference

Over 1,500 mathematicians are demanding that their field’s most prestigious meeting be moved from the United States. This significant movement underscores growing concerns among the academic community regarding factors that they believe could impede equitable participation and the free exchange of ideas, such as prevailing immigration policies or the current political environment. The call for relocation highlights a broader debate within the scientific community about the accessibility and inclusivity of international conferences.
