Travel Grant Program for the 2022 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) - Mid-Career

The goal of this travel-grant program is to enable US-based mathematicians to participate in the 2022 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM), July 6 - 14, 2022 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. 

Timetable

Applications will be accepted from August 25, 2021 - December 1, 2021. Awards are expected to be made mid to late January 2022.

Funding

With support from the National Science Foundation, the Simons Foundation, and the ICM Local Organizing Committee, the AMS is administering this program to send as many as 240 US-based mathematicians to the Congress.

Mid-career awardees will receive reimbursement for round-trip transportation to St. Petersburg, lodging, per diem for each day on site at the Congress, and Congress registration up to $3,500. (Early career mathematicians should use instead the application for Travel Grant Program for 2018 ICM - EARLY CAREER.) 

Eligibility, Considerations, and Applications

Individuals at all career stages-graduate students, faculty, practitioners and researchers-are welcome to apply. We especially encourage applications from women, individuals from underrepresented groups, and those who may be attending an international meeting for the first time.

• Applicants should have a full-time affiliation with an institution or organization in the United States at the time of the Congress, either enrolled as a student or employed.
• To be considered "mid-career", an applicant is expected to have completed a PhD more than six years prior to the time of the Congress. 
• Some applicants may wish to address special circumstances surrounding their application. Such information may be helpful to the application Evaluation Panel.
• Our intention is to fund those who would not be able to participate in the Congress without the support of this program. Those without  NSF, Simons, or other support available for ICM travel will receive priority in funding.
• Those traveling between the US and the Russian Federation must pay close attention to visa requirements, travel restrictions in place at the time of the Congress, and guidance from the US Embassy and Consulates.
• AMS employees are not eligible.

Awardees who expect costs to exceed the maximum amount and wish to request special consideration should contact AMS Programs staff as far in advance of the Congress as possible.
