# Conference: Summer Geometry Initiative 2025

> **NSF 01002526DB NSF RESEARCH & RELATED ACTIVIT** · Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MA) · $16,000

## Abstract

The Summer Geometry Initiative (SGI) is an intensive summer program aimed at helping student researchers in the field of geometry processing. Geometry processing addresses algorithms, software, and theory relevant to computing over geometric data. These fields brings together mathematics, computer science, and engineering expertise needed to work with 3D models in a range of applications. The summer program provides opportunities for SGI Fellows to engage deeply with current research and work with experienced mentors, allowing them to engage with the research community and to build new collaborations across institutions and researcher levels (from undergrads to faculty and industry researchers).  The SGI is co-located with the Symposium on Geometry Processing conference, a leading venue for this kind of work, further providing opportunities for SGI attendees to learn about and connect to the research community. 

This grant will support stipends, travel, and registration for about four (4) students who otherwise have limited funding and so might not be able to participate in the summer institute or the conference. Criteria for selection include financial need and growing the size and breadth of the geometry processing community, with a particular focus on providing opportunities for students who would not otherwise be likely to get involved in the field. Prior sessions of the summer program have had demonstrated impact on alumni's graduate work and careers, while elements
