ECMI Prizes

Anile-ECMI Prize for Mathematics in Industry

The Anile-ECMI Prize for Mathematics in Industry was established honouring Professor Angelo Marcello Anile (1948-2007) of Catania, Italy. The prize is jointly funded by ECMI and by the Angelo Marcello Anile Association. It consists of a prize of 2500 Euros and an invitation to give a talk at the ECMI conference. The prize is given to a young researcher for an excellent PhD thesis in industrial mathematics successfully submitted at a European university.

Hansjörg Wacker Memorial Prize

The Hansjörg Wacker Memorial Prize was established in memory of ECMI founding member Hansjörg Wacker (1939-1991), who was Professor of Numerical Mathematics at the Johannes Kepler University, Linz. The prize is jointly funded by ECMI and by a consortium of institutions from Linz which comprise the Industrial Mathematics Institute and the Institute of Computational Mathematics of Johannes Kepler University, and the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. It consists of a prize of 1000 Euros and the invitation to attend the ECMI conference presenting his/her project as a contributed talk. The prize is awarded for the best mathematical dissertation at the Masters level on an industrial project, which was submitted at an ECMI institution.

Lanczos Prize for Mathematical Software

The Lanczos Prize for Mathematical Software is a prize established in 2023 in order to reward and recognise exceptional research in the development of mathematical software. Cornelius Lanczos (1893-1974) was a pioneer of the development and implementation of numerical algorithms on digital computers. The prize is jointly founded and awarded by ECMI and EMS .

The Prize is to be awarded to a mathematician or scientist, or a group of mathematicians and scientists, for the development of outstanding mathematical software with important applications in mathematics, science, engineering, society or industry. Eligibility for the Prize is restricted to software whose source is available to the general public for scrutiny. Commercial software meeting this criterion is explicitly welcomed.

The award comprises a certificate and a cash prize of €3000.

The first prize will be awarded at the Ninth European Congress of Mathematics in Seville, July 15–19, 2024. The recipients will be invited to present their work at the congress.

Nominations for the prize should be submitted electronically to the chair of the Prize Committee, Professor Patrick Farrell (University of Oxford) patrick.farrell@maths.ox.ac.uk with the EMS Office in cc ems-office@helsinki.fi by December 31, 2023.
