European Mathematical Society





The European Mathematical Society (EMS) is a European organization dedicated to the development of mathematics in Europe. Its members are different mathematical societies in Europe, academic institutions and individual mathematicians. The current president is Pavel Exner,[1] Scientific Director of the Doppler Institute for Mathematical Physics and Applied Mathematics in Prague.[2]

Goals


The Society seeks to serve all kinds of mathematicians in universities, research institutes and other forms of higher education. Its aims are to



  1. Promote mathematical research, both pure and applied,

  2. Assist and advise on problems of mathematical education,

  3. Concern itself with the broader relations of mathematics to society,

  4. Foster interaction between mathematicians of different countries,

  5. Establish a sense of identity amongst European mathematicians,

  6. Represent the mathematical community in supra-national institutions.


The EMS is itself an Affiliate Member[3] of the International Mathematical Union and an Associate Member[4] of the International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.



History


The precursor to the EMS, the European Mathematical Council was founded in 1978[5] at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Helsinki. This informal federation of mathematical societies was chaired by Sir Michael Atiyah. The European Mathematical Society was founded on 28 October 1990 in Mądralin near Warsaw, Poland, with Friedrich Hirzebruch as founding President.[6] Initially, the EMS had 27 member societies. The first European Congress of Mathematics (ECM) was held at the Sorbonne and Panthéon-Sorbonne universities in Paris in 1992, and is now held every 4 years at different locations around Europe, organised by the EMS. The next ECM will be in 2020 in Portoroz in Slovenia.

Structure and Governance


The governing body[8] of the EMS is its Council, which comprises delegates representing all of the societies which are themselves members of the EMS, along with delegates representing the institutional and individual EMS members. The Council meets every 2 years, and appoints the President and Executive Committee who are responsible for the running of the society.


Besides the Executive Committee, the EMS has standing committees on[9]: Applied Mathematics, Developing Countries, Mathematical Education, ERCOM (Directors of European Research Centres in the Mathematical Sciences), Ethics, European Solidarity, Meetings, Publications and Electronic Dissemination, Raising Public Awareness of Mathematics[10], Women in Mathematics.


The EMS's rules are set down in its Statutes[11] and Bylaws[12]. The EMS is headquartered at the University of Helsinki.



Prizes


The European Congress of Mathematics (ECM) is held every four years under the Society's auspices, at which ten EMS Prizes are awarded to "recognize excellent contributions in Mathematics by young researchers not older than 35 years".[13]


Since 2000, the Felix Klein Prize (endowed by the Institute for Industrial Mathematics in Kaiserslautern) has been awarded to "a young scientist or a small group of young scientists (normally under the age of 38) for using sophisticated methods to give an outstanding solution, which meets with the complete satisfaction of industry, to a concrete and difficult industrial problem."


Since 2012, the Otto Neugebauer Prize (endowed by Springer Verlag) has been awarded to a researcher or group of researchers '"for highly original and influential work in the field of history of mathematics that enhances our understanding of either the development of mathematics or a particular mathematical subject in any period and in any geographical region".


Here are the awardees so far[14] (a F symbol denotes mathematicians who later earned a Fields Medal).

Mononymous person

Image
Plato, the Greek philosopher, is universally known by a single name. A mononymous person is an individual who is known and addressed by a single name, or mononym. [a] [b] In some cases, that name has been selected by the individual, who may have originally been given a polynym ("multiple name"). In other cases, it has been determined by the custom of the country [c] or by some interested segment. In the case of historical figures, it may be the only one of the individual's names that has survived and is still known today.
