The Abel Prize

I am the Chair of the Abel Prize Committee for the period 7/2022–6/2026. According to the Statutes, "The main objective of the Abel Prize is to recognize pioneering scientific achievements in mathematics."  The Abel Prize is 7.5 mill NOK, and is awarded annually, starting in 2003. The Prize is named after the Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel (1802– 1829). The Prize is awarded by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters  and funded by the Norwegian Goverment.   The Abel Prize award ceremony is in Oslo in May every year.   For further information about the Abel Prize, please see the official web site.  The next Abel Prize award ceremony is 23 May 2023. The winner of the 2023 Abel Prize will be announced at 12:00 on 22 March 2023. The event will be streamed here.
