European Congress of Mathematics
Call for Bids for the 10ECM
Outline bids from mathematicians to organize the 2028 Congress are now
invited and should reach the EMS Secretariat by June 30, 2023 by email
ems-office at helsinki.fi.
The information below may be helpful to possible organizers. Informal
discussions are welcomed and may be addressed to the President of the EMS
Jan Philip Solovej solovej at math.ku.dk.
*General information about ECMs *
European Congresses of Mathematics are organized every four years. The
first Congress was held in Paris in 1992, and since then they have been
held in Budapest, Barcelona, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Krakow, Berlin, and
Portorož. In 2024 the Congress will take place in Seville (Spain).
Experience of previous Congresses suggests that over a thousand people may
attend. The duration has so far been five days. Ten EMS Prizes are awarded
to outstanding young European mathematicians at the opening ceremony,
together with the Felix Klein and Otto Neugebauer Prizes. The Congress
programme should aim to present various new aspects of pure and applied
mathematics to a wide audience, to offer a forum for discussion of the
relationship between mathematics and society in Europe, and to enhance
cooperation among mathematicians from all European countries. The standard
format of previous ECMs has been:
- about 10 plenary lectures;
- section lectures for a more specialized audience, normally with
several held simultaneously;
- mini-symposia;
- special lectures;
- film and mathematical software sessions;
- poster sessions;
- round tables.
An exhibition space for mathematical societies, booksellers, and so on is
required. No official language is specified and no interpretation is
needed. Proceedings of the Congress are published by EMS Publishing House (
https://ems.press/).
*Decision process for 10ECM *
(i) Bids are invited via this notice in the EMS website, and via
letters to the EMS member societies; the deadline for bids is June 30,
2023. These bids need only be outline bids giving a clear idea of the
proposal and possible sources of financial and local support.
(ii) The Executive Committee of the EMS will consider the bids
received. It will invite one or more of the bids to be set out in greater
detail so that it can decide which bids are sufficiently serious options to
be considered further. The deadline for such "worked up" bids, which will
include a draft budget and a commitment to follow the conditions set up by
the Executive Committee, is October 31, 2023.
(iii) The EC will then create a short-list of sites that appear to offer
the best possibilities for a successful Congress, and appoint a Site
Committee to visit the short-listed sites between November and December
2023 to check a range of items in connection with the development of the
Congress. For example:
- size and number of auditoria; location and equipment;
- room for exhibitors;
- hotel rooms and dormitories; location, prices, number in different
categories and transportation to lectures;
- restaurants close to Congress site, number and prices;
- accessibility and cost of travel from various parts of Europe;
- financing of the Congress; support to participants from less favoured
countries, in particular;
- financing for the EMS Prizes;
- experience in organizing large conferences;
- timing of the Congress;
- social events;
- plans to use the occasion of the Congress as publicity for
mathematics;
- the EC may or may not make a recommendation to the Council based on
the report of the Site Committee; the choice is at the discretion of the
Council delegates.
(iv) In 2024, at the EMS Council held in Granada prior to 9ECM, a
decision will be reached.
*Relations between the EC and the Organizing Committee of 10ECM *
The actual Congress organization is the responsibility of the local
organizers, the EMS coordinates setting of the scientific programme. Two
main committees are appointed: the Scientific Committee and the Prize
Committee.
The Scientific Committee is charged with the responsibility for conceiving
the scientific programme and selecting the speakers. The Prize Committee is
charged with the responsibility of nominating the EMS Prize winners. For
each of these committees the Chairs are appointed by the EC. There will be
a call for suggestions of members of these two committees from the EMS
member societies, after which the membership of each committee will be
decided by the EC, in consultation with its Chair. In addition, the
Executive Committee will appoint the Otto Neugebauer Prize Committee, the
Hirzebruch Lecture Committee (together with DMV), and the Felix Klein Prize
Committee, the latter in co-operation with ECMI and the Fraunhofer
Institute for Industrial Mathematics in Kaiserslautern. The Executive
Committee will also select the Abel Prize lecturer.
The EC must be kept informed by the Chair of each committee about the
progress of their work.
The local organizers are responsible for seeking financial support for the
Congress and for the meetings of its committees. However, the EMS will
provide some financial support for mathematicians from less favoured
countries in Europe, and will also assist and advise in seeking sources of
funding.
The level of the registration fee is of great importance to the success of
an ECM, and the EC must be involved before a final decision on the level of
fees is made; members of the EMS normally receive a reduction of some 20%
on the registration fees. The EC would be pleased to offer advice to the
local organizers on matters such as the budget, registration,
accommodation, publications, web site, and so on, but in any case the EC
must be kept informed of progress at its regular meetings. Publicity for
the ECM via the EMS Magazine and the EMS site https://euromathsoc.org/
should appear regularly.
