The Executive Committee of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) has established the AWM-Microsoft Research Prize in Algebra and Number Theory to highlight exceptional research in some area of algebra by a woman early in her career. The prize will be awarded every other year with the first prize presented at the AWM Reception at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Baltimore, MD in January 2014. Here’s the press release.

Joint Introductory Workshop: Cluster Algebras and Commutative Algebra
Aug 27, 2012 to Sep 7, 2012
The workshop will take place at the opening of the MSRI special programs on Commutative Algebra and on Cluster Algebras. It will feature lecture series at different levels, to appeal to a wide variety of participants. There will be minicourses on the basics of cluster algebras, and others developing particular aspects of cluster algebras and commutative algebra.

Luchezar Avramov, David Eisenbud, and Irena Peeva are organizing the 7-day MSRI Workshop “Representation Theory, Homological Algebra, and Free Resolutions”, Feb 11, 2013 to Feb 17, 2013. To apply for funding, you must register by Mon, Oct 15 2012. Graduate students and postdocs should arrange that their Ph.D. advisor e-mails a brief recommendation letter to the organizers.
This joint workshop runs Aug 22, 2012 to Aug 24, 2012.
This workshop will present basic notions from Commutative Algebra and Cluster Algebras, with a particular focus on providing background material. Additionally, the workshop aims to encourage and facilitate the exchange of ideas between researchers in Commutative Algebra and researchers in Cluster Algebras.
Organizer(s)
Claudia Polini (University of Notre Dame), Idun Reiten (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), Karen Smith (University of Michigan), and Lauren Williams* (University of California, Berkeley)

There will be a Summer School and Workshop on “Cohomology and Support in Representation Theory” in Seattle, Washington, July 27–August 5, 2012. The Seattle Summer π-School will run July 27–30, and the conference will be held August 1–5.
From the website:
The theme of this two week event will be a survey of the state of the art in the use of cohomology and supports in the study of representation theory. The first week will be a prepatory summer school intended for graduate students, recent doctoral recipients, or others new to the field to introduce the fundamental ideas. Three speakers will each present a series of four lectures. The second week of the conference will consist of talks on latest develoments in the field with ample time for discussion and collaboration.
The summer school speakers will be Paul Balmer, Dave Benson, and Srikanth Iyengar. See the web page for more information about the school and the conference.
