Carl Herz Prize
The Carl Herz Prize recognizes a research contribution made by a doctoral student currently registered at one of the ISM universities whose supervisor is a member of an ISM scientific group. The prize is worth $4,000, and is accompanied by a travel grant of $1,000, allowing the recipient to present his or her results at a scientific event. The prize is awarded by a committee of internationally renowned mathematicians who are members of the ISM.
Each ISM university is invited to nominate a maximum of two candidates. Candidates should submit a copy of their most important research contribution (preprint, article), a one-page text explaining their principal results to a general mathematical audience, a CV, and a letter of recommendation from their thesis supervisor. A person can receive the Carl Herz Prize once only.
The deadline for Departments to submit nominations to the ISM is March 22, 2024.
