The 6th ICCM will be held from July 14 to 19, 2013 in Taipei. You are cordially invited to join this great event! Please note that ICCM 2013 will be held in JULY, not in December as with the previous ICCMs. It is important that you mark July 2013 on your calendar now!

The Sixth International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (ICCM) July 2013 in Taipei.

　
• Start: 09:00, July 14, 2013
　
• End: 18:00, July 19, 2013
　
• Opening ceremony: July 14, in the Big Hall of the Grand Hotel, Taipei.
　
• Lectures and invited talks: July 15 to July 19, on the campus of National Taiwan University, Taipei.

Lectures and invited talks: July 15 to July 19, on the campus of National Taiwan University, Taipei.

During the opening of ICCM 2013, you will witness the presentation of the Morningside Medals, the New World Mathematics Awards, and other awards. The Morningside Medal is the most prestigious award for young Chinese mathematicians. During the conference, there will be thirty plenary talks, several Morningside talks by international speakers, and over one hundred sixty 45-minute talks. The talks cover a full range of subjects in the mathematical sciences, from number theory, geometry, and differential equations to statistics and bio-mathematics.

The first Congress was held in December 1998 in Beijing. The second Congress took place in Taipei 2001, then in Hong Kong, in Hangzhou, and Beijing again in 2010. After twelve years, ICCM 2013 will return to Taipei. We expect there to be more than one thousand participants and more than two hundred presentations covering a broad spectrum of the mathematical sciences.

The 2013 registration fee is USD100 (or USD 50) for each participant joining the formal Banquet (without joining the formal banquet, respectively). For up-to-date information on ICCM 2013, visit its website http://iccm.tims.ntu.edu.tw

We have tried to allocate a limited amount of grant money to support bringing young students and researchers to ICCM, particularly young Chinese mathematicians from less developed countries. The application deadline for financial support is end of December, 2012. Please upload the necessary documents upon registration.

In order to promote mathematics researches in Taiwan as well as to encourage outstanding mathematical contributions, the National Taiwan University, together with the Taida Institute for Mathematical Sciences (TIMS), has established the “Fu Szu-nien Award in Mathematics” in 2011. The laureate will receive an award of NTD1,000,000 each year for 3 consecutive years. During this period, the laureate also will teach and do research on campus of NTU for at least two years.

In 2011, the committee of Fu Szu-nien Award decided that the first “Fu Szu-nien Award in Mathematics” be given to Professor Mu-Tao Wang from Columbia University. He is also an alumnus of the Department of Mathematics of National Taiwan University.

Professor Mu-Tao Wang has made great achievements in the area of differential geometry and partial differential equations in the last decade. He is well-known internationally for his deep researches in the theory of mean curvature flow and General Relativity. He was the first to develop mean curvature flow in higher co-dimensions. He also collaborates with Academician Shing-Tung Yau in introducing the right concept of quasi-local mass, thereby successfully answered one of the main questions in General Relativity.

In 2011/2012 Professor Mu-Tao Wang is a visiting Chair Professor at NTU and gives an advanced course on Topics in General Relativity. Currently he is leading an NTU group of frontier mathematics research in this very important direction.
