The International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM) Prize Committee calls for nominations for the six ICIAM prizes to be awarded in 2023: the Collatz Prize, the Lagrange Prize, the Maxwell Prize, the Pioneer Prize, the Su Buchin Prize, and the Industry Prize. Each ICIAM prize has its own unique attributes but all are truly international in nature; nominations are therefore welcome from every part of the world. A nomination should account for the specifications of a particular prize and contain the following information:
- Full name and address of the nominee
- Nominee’s webpage, if applicable
- Name of particular ICIAM prize
- Justification for nomination; in particular, nominators must cite their reasons for selecting the candidate, including explanations of the scientific and practical influence of the candidate’s work and publications
- Proposed citation: a concise statement about the nominee’s outstanding contributions in less than 250 words
- CV of the nominee
- Two to three letters of support from experts in the field, and/or two to three names of experts that the ICIAM Prize Committee can consult
- Name and contact details of the nominator.
Nominations should be made electronically through the ICIAM Prizes website. The deadline for nominations is September 1st, 2021. Please contact [email protected] with any questions about the nomination procedure.
Prize Descriptions
The Collatz Prize provides international recognition to individual scientists who are under 42 years of age for outstanding work in industrial and applied mathematics. A recipient’s 42nd birthday must not occur before January 1 of the year in which the prize is presented.
The Lagrange Prize acknowledges individual mathematicians who have made exceptional contributions to applied mathematics throughout their careers.
The Maxwell Prize offers international recognition to a mathematician who has demonstrated originality in applied mathematics.
The Pioneer Prize recognizes pioneering work that introduces applied mathematical methods and scientific computing techniques to an industrial problem area or new scientific field of applications.
The Su Buchin Prize provides international recognition for an outstanding contribution by an individual in the application of mathematics to emerging economies and human development, particularly at the economic and cultural level in developing countries. This contribution can include efforts to improve mathematical research and teaching in those countries.
The Industry Prize honors scientists who have made outstanding contributions to innovative mathematical techniques with a demonstrated impact in industry.
