The newly established IMU Breakout Graduate Fellowships will offer a limited number of grants for excellent students from developing countries. Professional mathematicians are invited to nominate highly motivated and mathematically talented students from developing countries who plan to complete a doctoral degree in a developing country, including their own home country.
The Program Committee (PC) for the International Congress of Mathematicians 2018 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, August 1-9, 2018 has been set up. The Adhering Organizations of IMU and the mathematical societies worldwide are invited to nominate plenary and sectional speakers.
For nominations of speakers please specify whether you suggest them as plenary speakers or section speakers. In case of proposals of section speakers please indicate to which sections you would like the persons to be invited. Shared lectures between sections are also possible.
