Priority Funding Application Deadline: August 31, 2023

Established researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students in 
all related fields and industry are invited to join world-renowned 
mathematicians, computer scientists, economists, and other experts at 
the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath), formerly 
MSRI, in Berkeley, California at "Algorithms, Approximation, and 
Learning in Market and Mechanism Design" from November 6-9, 2023.

Workshop registration is open for both in-person and online-only 
attendees. Those who plan to attend via Zoom only will receive workshop 
links in advance of the event. Registration is open through the event 
dates.

_SLMath workshops are free of charge to attend, thanks to the generous 
support of our funders, including the National Science Foundation and 
the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation._

ALGORITHMS, APPROXIMATION, AND LEARNING IN MARKET AND MECHANISM DESIGN

In recent years, economists and computer scientists have collaborated 
with mathematicians, operations research experts, and practitioners to 
improve the design and operations of real-world marketplaces. Such work 
relies on robust feedback between theory and practice, inspiring new 
mathematics closely linked - and directly applicable - to market and 
mechanism design [3] questions.

This workshop is aimed at exploring core subjects in the field of market 
and mechanism design, such as the design of non-convex auction markets, 
the design of matching markets with preferences, algorithmic mechanism 
design, and learning in games. These topics are interrelated and deeply 
rooted in mathematics and computer science. Each day of the 4-day 
workshop is devoted to one of these topics with talks by leading 
scholars in the field and panel discussions on major open problems.

FUNDING SUPPORT & RESOURCES FOR WORKSHOP ATTENDEES

Funding applications submitted by the priority deadline receive full 
consideration; later applications are subject to remaining funds. Awards 
are typically made eight weeks before the workshop.

Groups underrepresented in research-intensive contexts including women, 
gender-expansive individuals, minorities, and mathematicians and related 
scholars not located at research centers are welcomed and encouraged to 
apply.

Resources for Workshop Attendees: SLMath is pleased to be able to offer 
a private room for nursing parents. Childcare grants are available for 
researchers with children under the age of 18 (limited to U.S. Citizens 
and Permanent Residents, and foreign visitors with a visa status that 
allows for compensation, such as a J-1). See website for full details.
