What's
ICM2002?

The International Congress
of Mathematicians (ICM) is a quadrennial congress held under the auspices
of the International
Mathematical Union (IMU). It is an important event of mathematicians
the world over. In August 1998 the General Assembly of the IMU decided
to hold its next Congress in Beijing in 2002. The Organizing Committee
of ICM2002 takes pleasure in inviting you to participate in the next
Congress: International Congress of Mathematicians
Beijing, August 20-28, 2002.

|
ICM2002 will be held in Beijing
from August 20 to 28, 2002. All sessions, except the opening ceremony,
will take place at Beijing International Convention Center. At the Congress,
mathematicians from all over the world gather to discuss recent developments
in almost all fields of mathematics. The ICM2002 will feature plenary
lectures covering major areas of mathematics and invited lectures presented
by leading mathematicians, oral presentations at different sessions,
posters, and ad-hoc talks. The selection of the plenary speakers and
invited speakers will be the responsibility of the Program Committee
that is appointed by IMU.

|
The Opening Ceremony on the
first day of the Congress will be held at the Main Auditorium of the
Great Hall of the People, during which the Fields Medals and the Nevanlinna
Prize will be awarded.
|
|
The preparation of ICM'2002
is supported by Chinese government institutions and foundations.
|
|
To make the congress a true
worldwide gathering, the Organizing Committee pays great attention to
attracting scientists from developing countries and Eastern Europe.
For this purpose, Committee for Support of Mathematicians from Developing
Countries and Eastern European Countries (CSMDCEEC) has been set up
to provide fellowships or support for young and mature mathematicians
from developing countries and support for mathematicians from Eastern
Europe. See circular letter #3.

The Organizing Committee
is well aware of the needs of the delegates in accommodation. Hotels
of different categories will be reserved for the period of the Congress
and a large number of relatively cheap rooms will be offered. We will
list all the chosen hotels with their rates in due time.
|
|
Finally, the Organizing Committee is preparing an
interesting social and tour program for the delegates and
accompanying persons. Beijing is a city of long history, and we
believe that the various historical sites and museums in Beijing
will leave you an unforgettable memory.
