<p><strong><em>Chebyshev and Kovalevskaya grants and
satellites call</em></strong></p>
<p>The Local Organizing Committee (LOC) of ICM 2022 is
seeking collaboration from all adhering organizations of
the IMU, as well as international and national math
societies, academies, scientific funding agencies on the
following funding initiatives. These initiatives follow up
on the plans presented in the St Petersburg ICM bid and,
along with the visa-waiver for all registered
participants, should contribute significantly to the
success of the Congress and its satellite events. The
funds will go towards vastly increasing the diversity of
participants ensuring representation of the mathematical
communities from all over the world and towards supporting
satellites, which greatly enhance the participants’
experience at the ICM.</p>
<p>The Russian mathematical community would like to welcome
colleagues from every part of the globe. To help reach
this goal, the Local Organizing Committee is announcing
the <strong>Chebyshev</strong> grant, which will be
available to mathematicians from developing countries to
attend ICM. This grant will provide full support, that is,
airfare and local expenses in St Petersburg, to 1000
participants from the developing countries. The
application process and selection of candidates will be
administered by the IMU Committee on Developing Countries
(CDC). The mission and role of the CDC were the subject of
the editorial in the previous issue of the IMU-net, see <a href="https://www.mathunion.org/imu-net/archive/2019/imu-net-96" target="_blank">https://www.mathunion.org/imu-net/archive/2019/imu-net-96</a>.</p>
<p>With a keen eye towards the future of mathematics, the <strong>Kovalevskaya</strong>
grant will allow early career mathematicians to attend
ICM, thereby increasing the ICM potential to encourage and
inspire young researchers worldwide. This grant will
provide local expenses in St Petersburg to 1300 early
career mathematicians from Russia and the world. The LOC
invites participation of the adhering organizations and
funding agencies around the globe in the selection of the
recipients of the Kovalevskaya grants. The home country
organization will be expected to provide the nomination
materials and adequate travel expenses from the home
country to St Petersburg for each nominee, while the LOC
and the Kovalevskaya grant will take care of the local
logistics and expenses. Please contact the organizers at <a href="mailto:funding@icm2022.org" target="_blank">funding@icm2022.org</a> for
further details. </p>
<p><strong>Satellite events</strong> complement the events
of the ICM proper in many important ways, including
developing and reinforcing the ties between foreign
participants and mathematicians from the host country. To
promote satellite events, the LOC is offering financial
support to the satellites that take place in the Russian
Federation in partnership with a local scientific or
educational organization. The deadline for funding
applications is <strong>May 1, 2020</strong> and the
estimated support amount is up to 2,5 million rubles. The
details of this funding opportunity may be found in the
“Call for satellites”, published on the ICM 2022 website <a href="https://icm2022.org/" target="_blank">https://icm2022.org/</a>. </p>
<p>This and various other useful information alongside some
beautiful pictures of Saint-Petersburg can be found on the
ICM website which has been up and running, providing
updates on the plans and preparations for ICM 2022. Check
the news blog of ICM 2022 <a href="https://icm2022.org/blog" target="_blank">https://icm2022.org/blog</a> for
updates on funding and other opportunities and subscribe
to the ICM newsletter to receive information for all who
are planning to take part in the activities of ICM 2022. </p>
<p>We are looking forward to working together with our
colleagues worldwide to make the best use of these funding
opportunities! </p>

This is an initiative started by European funding

controversy, because it does little to accommodate
society journals or hybrid open access publishing. In

<div><strong>a. Report from the Structure
Committee:</strong>
<div>
<p>The 2018 General Assembly decided to create an ICM
Structure Committee (SC) charged with the task to
propose the structure for the ICMs. Decisions
regarding the actual speakers is left with
the Program Committee (PC).<br>
<br>
Terence Tao chaired the committee, whose membership
is public. The SC has now finalized its <a href="https://www.mathunion.org/fileadmin/IMU/Report/SC/2019/structure_committee_final.pdf" target="_blank">report</a>. The IMU is
very grateful to the members of the SC for their
thorough job within the given tight timeframe. <br>
The IMU Executive Committee (EC) has discussed the
report and made the following decisions:<br>
<br>
For the ICM 2022:<br>
1. The EC endorses the proposal of creating:<br>
(i) A new Section 17 (Statistics and Data
Analysis) which replaces the old Section 17
(Mathematics in Science and Technology), and which
incorporates the Statistics part of the old Section
12 (Probability and Statistics), which now becomes
Section 12 (Probability).<br>
(ii) A new Section 18 (Stochastic and
Differential Modeling), which expands on aspects of
the old Section 17 (Mathematics in Science and
Technology).<br>
The rationale for these changes is to start
the process of enhancing the representation of
applied mathematics in the ICM, and to keep up with
recent groundbreaking developments in applied
mathematics.<br>
2. The EC endorses the given Sections with its
descriptors and with the given base lecture slots.<br>
3. The EC endorses the proposal to leave 20
sectional talks to the discretion of the PC, as
described in the SC report.<br>
4. The EC endorses the proposal to leave 2–3
plenary for “special plenary lectures” as described
in the SC report.<br>
5. The EC recommends that the opening ceremony is
to be streamed, while the recording of other
lectures should be made available later to the
mathematical community by the organizers in a timely
fashion. Videos are to be stored at the IMU
Secretariat.<br>
6. The EC asks that local organizers conduct an
exit survey for ICM participants in order to guide
subsequent SCs in their work.<br>
<br>
For ICMs after 2022:<br>
7. The EC asks that the SC proposes a dynamic
mechanism on how the size of each Section can
reflect the activity in the various subfields of
mathematics. This mechanism can be applied for the
ICM 2026. <br>
<br>
<strong>b. Call for bids for the ICM 2026</strong><br>
The IMU Executive Committee (EC) cordially invites
all Adhering Organizations and national
mathematical societies in IMU members to submit
bids for hosting the International Congress of
Mathematicians in the year 2026 and the IMU General
Assembly meeting prior to this Congress.<br>
Only electronic submissions are accepted.
Submissions should be sent to <a href="mailto:secretary@mathunion.org" target="_blank">secretary@mathunion.org</a>.
For a bid to be considered by the Site Selection
Committee it must be received no later than <strong>30
November 2021</strong>.<br>
<br>
The Site Selection Committee will evaluate all bids
received, taking into account, but not restricted
to, the mathematical ambience, the infrastructure
and the economic conditions offered by each bidder,
as well as the accessibility of the proposed site,
the involvement of the local mathematical community,
and the geographical distribution of places where
ICMs took place in the past.<br>
<br>
The IMU EC will prepare a recommendation based on
the SSC's advice and refer this recommendation to
the 19th IMU General Assembly (GA), which will take
place in St. Petersburg, Russia, on 3–4 July 2022
prior to the ICM. The GA will make the final
decision on the location of ICM 2026. Detailed
information: <a href="https://www.mathunion.org/fileadmin/IMU/ICM/Guidelines/ICM_Bidding_Guidelines.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.mathunion.org/fileadmin/IMU/ICM/Guidelines/ICM_Bidding_Guidelines.pdf</a></p>
<p><strong>c. Cyprus new member of the IMU</strong><br>
After a ballot among the adhering organizations,
Cyprus was admitted as full member of the IMU in
group I as of October 1, 2020.</p>
