[FOM] FW: ICM'2022 mark your calendars!

[Mikhail Katz]

My understanding is that (1) the Nevanlinna prize has been discontinued 
due to concerns raised by Nevanlinna's alleged interactions with elements 
of the Nationalsozialismus. (2) A different name will be chosen so that 
the prize can continue under a different name.  (3) The Finnish government 
has suspended its funding of the prize.  (4) An alternative funder is 
currently being sought out.  MK

Each congress is memorialized by a printed set of Proceedings recording academic papers based on invited talks intended to be relevant to current topics of general interest. Being invited to talk at the ICM has been called "the equivalent [...] of an induction to a hall of fame.""
