Prizes of the European Mathematical Society
EMS PrizesThe 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 PrizeNowadays, 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 PrizeThe 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.

Major Prizes and Special Lectures include:
l
The John von Neumann Lecture
The John von Neumann Lecture, SIAM’s flagship lecture, was established in 1959 and is awarded for outstanding and distinguished contributions to the field of applied mathematical sciences and for the effective communication of these ideas to the community. The prize is awarded and the lecture given each year at the SIAM Annual Meeting.
l
Julian Cole Lectureship
The Julian Cole Lectureship, established in 2000, is awarded every four years for an outstanding contribution to the mathematical characterization and solution of a challenging problem in the physical or biological sciences, or in engineering, or for the development of mathematical methods for the solution of such problems. The prize is awarded and the lecture given at the SIAM Annual Meeting.
l
Germund Dahlquist Prize
The Germund Dahlquist Prize, established in 1995, is awarded every two years for original contributions to fields associated with Germund Dahlquist, especially the numerical solution of differential equations and numerical methods for scientific computing.
