ICM - International Congress of Mathematicians

Next ICM

• The next ICM (ICM 2010) will be held in Hyderabad, India, August 19-27, 2010. The congress server is currently under construction and will contain all  relevant information about ICM 2010 as soon as available. Please go to that server for details.
• The IMU has set up the ICM 2010 Program Committee (PC). Its chair is     
   
         Prof. Hendrik W. Lenstra
         Mathematisch Instituut
         Universiteit Leiden
         Postbus 9512
         2300 RA Leiden
         The Netherlands
         e-mail: hwlicm@math.leidenuniv.nl
  
  The PC has set up the structure of the ICM 2010 program (which includes 20 sections) and determined the panels for all the ICM sections. If you have suggestions for invited section or plenary speakers, please contact Prof. Lenstra by email, see IMU AO Circular Letter 3/2008.
  
  The roles the Program Committee and the Organizing Committee play in the preparation of the scientific program of an ICM is described in the PC/OC Guidelines.

General Information about ICMs

• Program Committees for ICMs
• Bids to Host an ICM
• Site Committee
• Requested Information
• List of all ICM plenary and invited speakers since 1950
  A data base has been compiled from the proceedings volumes of the ICMs since 1950. The data base can be viewed in several versions:
  • sorted by speakers' last name
  • sorted by congress year, and subsequently, by speakers' last name
  • sorted by section name, and subsequently, by speakers' last name
  • a simple search interface
  The data base probably contains still some errors. Moreover, the section names have changed over the years considerably and are contained in the data base only in some abbreviated form. This means that the "section view" currently provides only a somewhat inconsistent picture.

  We encourage readers who found errors in the data base to send the observation (and if possible, the correction) to technician@mathunion.org so that the data can be updated.

Previous ICMs

• 2006 Madrid, Spain
  • Guillermo P. Curbera (Universidad de Sevilla), who curated the exhibition on the history of the International Congresses at ICM 2006 in Madrid, has made parts of the exhibition electronically available.
• 2002 Beijing, China (see also here)
• 1998 Berlin, Germany

ICM related Grants

The International Mathematical Union, in cooperation with other mathematical organizations and the local Organizing Committee of an ICM, provides Grants to Young Mathematicians as well as Grants to Senior Mathematicians from developing and economically disadvantaged countries. At each ICM, the local organizers usually offer further grant programs.
