he Ramanujan Prize for young mathematicians from developing countries has been awarded annually since the first winner was announced in 2005.
The 2013 Prize will be funded and administered jointly by ICTP and IMU.
The Prize winner must be less than 45 years of age on 31 December of the year of the award, and have conducted outstanding research in a developing country. Researchers working in any branch of the mathematical sciences are eligible. The Prize carries a $15,000 cash award.
The winner will be invited to the ICTP to receive the Prize and deliver a lecture. The Prize is usually awarded to one person, but may be shared equally among recipients who have contributed to the same body of work.
The Selection Committee will take into account not only the scientific quality of the research, but also the background of the candidate and the environment in which the work was carried out. The Committee consists of eminent mathematicians appointed in consultation between the ICTP and the IMU.
The deadline for receipt of nominations for the 2013 Prize is 1 February 2013.
Please send nominations to math@ictp.it describing the work of the nominee in adequate detail. Nominations should include a CV and a list of publications, as well as a letter of recommendation. Additional supporting letters are encouraged.
Self-nominations are strongly discouraged.
