A publication of the European Mathematical Society
The European Congress of Mathematics, held every four years, has
become a well-established major international mathematical
event. Following those in Paris (1992), Budapest (1996), Barcelona
(2000), Stockholm (2004), and Amsterdam (2008), the Sixth European
Congress of Mathematics (6ECM) took place in Kraków, Poland,
July 2–7, 2012, with about 1000 participants from all over the
world.
Ten plenary, thirty-three invited lectures, and three special
lectures formed the core of the program. As at all the previous EMS
congresses, ten outstanding young mathematicians received the EMS
prizes in recognition of their research achievements. In addition, two
more prizes were awarded: the Felix Klein Prize for a remarkable
solution of an industrial problem, and—for the first
time—the Otto Neugebauer Prize for a highly original and
influential piece of work in the history of mathematics. The program
was complemented by twenty-four minisymposia with nearly 100 talks
that covered all areas of mathematics. Six panel discussions were
organized, covering a variety of issues ranging from the financing of
mathematical research to gender imbalance in mathematics.
These proceedings, which present extended versions of most of the
invited talks delivered during the congress, provide a permanent
record of the best of what mathematics offers today.
