The International Mathematical Union grants prizes for mathematical achievement which are awarded every four years at the Opening Ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM):Fields Medal - recognizes outstanding mathematical achievement. Abacus Medal - honors distinguished achievements in mathematical aspects of information science. Carl Friedrich Gauss Prize - is awarded for outstanding mathematical contributions that have found significant applications outside of mathematics. Chern Medal Award - is awarded to an individual whose accomplishments warrant the highest level of recognition for outstanding achievements in the field of mathematics.Leelavati Prize - recognizes outstanding public outreach work for mathematics.
After four years of suspense, it's finally time for math students, educators, and researchers from across the world to gather for the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians! ICM TV will be on the ground in Philadelphia covering all the excitement of the congress. We're also proud to share our featured film series, which spotlights exceptional work in mathematics from a variety of disciplines and sectors.
