Call for Nominations of Candidates for Ten EMS Prizes

Principal Guidelines

Any European mathematician who has their 35^th birthday on or after the 1^st of January 2024 and who has not previously received an EMS Prize is eligible. In the event of maternity, the upper limit is normally extended by 18 months for each child. For other parental, adoption, compassionate or extended sick leave the upper limit is extended to match the documented time spent on leave. The maximal extension is up to the age of 38 years.

Mathematicians are defined to be European if they are of European nationality or their normal place of work is within Europe. Europe is defined to be the union of any country or part of a country which is geographically within Europe or that has a corporate member of the EMS based in that country. Prizes are to be awarded for work accepted for publication before October 31, 2023.
