Kovalevskaya Grants and IMS Travel Grants

The next International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM22) will be held in Saint Petersburg from 6-14 July 2022. In order to encourage participation from early-career researchers, the Local Organising Committee (LOC) has established grants for such researchers called Kovalevskaya Grants.

These generous grants cover the registration fee and all local expenses including accommodation and meals. Grant holders will receive assistance with logistics in Saint Petersburg and visa-free entry.

The LOC has asked the IMS, as well as other adhering organisations of the International Mathematical Union and national mathematical societies, to solicit applications for these grants, choose top quality candidates, and secure travel funding to the ICM for successful applicants. Accordingly, the IMS is offering about four Travel Grants valued at up to €400 each to cover return travel to Saint Petersburg. The IMS may nominate further top quality candidates who are in a position to fund their travel either through their own research funds or local departmental support.

Applications are now invited for Kovalevskaya Grants and IMS Travel Grants.

Further information, including on eligibility, can be found here.

The application form can be downloaded here in [pdf] or [docx] format.

All applications are reviewed by the IMS Committee. Names of successful candidates are then forwarded to the LOC.

The closing date is 30 September 2021; early application is encouraged.
