The 8th European Congress of Mathematics 2020 has been reschuduled due to the covid19 pandemic.
The new date for the Congress is 20–26 June, 2021 in Portorož, Slovenia.
Every four years, during the ECM, the EMS awards 10 EMS Prizes, the Felix Klein Prize and the Otto Neugebauer Prize. All prize winners are usually announced at the Opening Ceremony at the beginning of the congress. Unfortunately, this year the tradition called for an alternative.
The 10 EMS Prizes are awarded “to young researchers not older than 35 years, of European nationality or working in Europe, in recognition of excellent contributions in mathematics.” The EMS prize winners for 2020 are:
- Karim Adiprasito (Hebrew University of Jerusalem / University of Copenhagen)
- Ana Caraiani (Imperial College London)
- Alexander Efimov (Steklov, Moscow)
- Simion Filip (Chicago)
