Dear colleagues,

 

This letter is of particular interest for mathematicians from developing and economically disadvantaged countries.

 

The International Mathematical Union (IMU) and the local organizing committee of the International Congress of Mathematicians 2010 (ICM 2010) in Hyderabad, India are offering support programs to enable as many mathematicians from developing and economically disadvantaged countries as possible to participate in ICM 2010.

 

Support programs for travel, registration, and living support have been established in three different categories:

 

              1. Young mathematicians from developing and economically disadvantaged countries;

  

              2. Senior mathematicians from developing and economically disadvantaged countries;

  

              3. Mathematicians from developing countries in Asia with emphasis on countries neighboring India.

 

Detailed information about the support programs can be found on the Web page: http://www.icm2010.org.in/financial-support.php 

 

Applications for support may be submitted from July 1, 2009 to January 1, 2010. The IMU and the local organizing committee have set up a grant selection committee that will decide on the applications and will communicate the decisions to the applicants as soon as possible, after May 1, 2010. Queries about the ICM 2010 participation support program may be sent to the ICM organization at the address: icm-aid@math.tifr.res.in .

 

I would like to ask all Adhering Organizations to distribute this information within their countries so that as many mathematicians as possible eligible for these support programs obtain information about financial aid to participate in ICM 2010.

 

IMU is grateful to the local hosts in India for generous contributions to this support program and wishes to thank all donors (mathematical societies, organizations, and many individuals from around the world) for making this offer possible via IMU's Special Development Fund.

 

 

 

Sincerely

 

Martin Grötschel

IMU Secretary
