Prizes of the European Mathematical Society EMS Prizes The EMS Prizes were established by the European Mathematical Society. They are presented every four years at the European Congresses of Mathematics. A total of 10 prizes will be awarded at every congress. The award comprises a certificate including a citation and a cash prize of 5000 Euro. Any European mathematician who has not reached his/her 35th birthday on 30 June 2012, and who has not previously received the prize, is eligible for an EMS Prize. Felix Klein Prize Nowadays, mathematics often plays the decisive role in finding solutions to numerous technical, economical and organizational problems. In order to encourage such solutions and to reward exceptional research in the area of applied mathematics the EMS decided, in October 1999, to establish the Felix Klein Prize. The mathematician Felix Klein (1849-1925) is generally acknowledged as a pioneer with regard to the close connection between mathematics and applications which lead to solutions to technical problems. Otto Neugebauer Prize The Prize is to be awarded for highly original and influential work in the field of history of mathematics that enhances our understanding of either the development of mathematics or a particular mathematical subject in any period and in any geographical region. The prize may be shared by two or more researchers if the work justifying it is the fruit of collaboration between them.
