ICM 2022 Applications

2022 International Congress of Mathematicians Travel Grants

 

The National Graduate Academy for Mathematical and Statistical Sciences (NGA(MaSS)) is partnering with the Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the prestigious International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) to support up to twenty (20) early career mathematicians and statisticians to attend the ICM in 2022. This will be held in St. Petersburg, Russia from 6 July to 14 July 2022 (details can be found in www.icm2022.org). The NGA(MaSS) will be responsible for the travel costs to and from Russia and the successful applicants will be awarded the Kovalevskaya Awards by the LOC of the ICM to meet their local costs in Russia. The NGA(MaSS) may also support those successful applicants that may wish to attend one of the satellite conferences  immediately before or after the ICM 2022, for example the World Meeting for Women in Mathematics.

Applications for the travel grants are invited from interested early career academics in mathematics, statistics or data science who meet the requirements for support from the University Capacity Development Programme (UCDP) managed by the University of Pretoria.  The closing date for completing the application form and submitting all the necessary documentation is Friday 15 October 2021. The Selection Committee will only correspond with the successful applicants once the adjudication process is complete. Successful applicants will be expected to submit quotes for their travel costs between South Africa and St. Petersburg, Russia at least 2 months before the ICM. A separate budget, with quotes, will be required from those that wish to attend a satellite meeting.
