ICRA Award

The Scientific Advisory Committee of ICRA 11 (Patzcuaro, Mexico, 2004) decided to establish the

The ICRA Award is awarded at each session of ICRA for outstanding work by young mathematicians, not older than 35 years of age, in the field of Representations of Algebras. Aims to create the ICRA Award are:

•　to point out contemporary important development in the field,
•　to encourage research in the field,
•　to support young algebraists to achieve early scientific recognition,
•　to stimulate identification of young people with the subject.

The ICRA Award consists of a certificate containing a citation. The award will be announced at the Opening Ceremony of each session of ICRA and awarded at the banquet of the Conference. The recipients would be expected to give a plenary talk. Award and citation will be published in the Proceedings of ICRA and widely communicated.

Eligibility: Any young mathematician, not older than 35 years of age at the starting date of ICRA (with the exception of career breaks, e.g. maternity), is eligible for nomination.

             Only those candidates who have been nominated can be considered by the prize committee.
