Dear Presidents and Representatives of ICIAM member societies.        Today is the first day of a brand new year. Let me wish you and your family a very Happy New Year of 2022! And also wish your society all the best in 2022!.      2021 was a difficult year for us. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the board meeting of ICIAM was held online on October 30th. At that meeting,the Board made many important decisions, including the followings:Liliane Basso Barichello (nominated by SBMAC) was elected as an Officer-at-Large of ICIAM, and will serve a six-year term until 2027.  Two societies, the Hong Kong Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (HKSIAM）and the Serbian Scientific Mathematical Society (SSMS) were accepted as new members of ICIAM. The board also approved the list of invited speakers for ICIAM-2023 proposed by the chair of theScientific Program Committee, Prof. Yasumasa Nishiura. Finally, the bid from the Royal Dutch Mathematical Society (KWG) and the Dutch Platform for Mathematics (PWN) for hosting the ICIAM 2027 Congress in The Hague was approved.      Our secretary, Sven Leyffer was elected as the President-Elect of SIAM. Let us congratulate him with warm hearts!  He will be the President of SIAM  starting January 1st 2023. That means that ICIAM will need to elect a newsecretary before the end of 2022. Hence, I am asking member societies of ICIAM to nominate candidates. Nominations should be sent to the President(president@iciam.org) or the Secretary (secretary@iciam.org) before June 15th, 2022. When a nomination is made, please provide a CV (at most four pages)of the candidate together with a written statement on his/her aspirations  and visions for ICIAM.     The COVID-19 pandemic is not over yet. The Omicron wave is effecting the world heavily, and also impacting our plans for 2022. I wish all of you and your families a safe, healthy, and a very Happy New Year!   Ya-xiang Yuan ICIAM President

Call for nominations for the ICIAM Prizes 2023

The ICIAM Prize Committee for 2023 calls for nominations for the six ICIAM Prizes to be awarded in 2023 (the Collatz Prize, the Lagrange Prize, the Maxwell Prize, the Pioneer Prize, the Su Buchin Prize, and the Industry Prize). Each ICIAM Prize has its own special character, but each one is truly international in character.

Nominations are therefore welcomed from every part of the world. A nomination should take into account the specifications for a particular prize (see http://www.iciam.org/iciam-prizes and see also below), and should contain the following information:

Full name and address of person nominated Web home page if any. Name of particular ICIAM Prize. Justification for nomination (cite nominator's reason for considering candidate to be deserving, including explanations of the scientific and practical influence of the candidate's work and publications). Proposed citation (concise statement about the outstanding contribution in fewer than 250 words). CV of the nominee. 2-3 letters of support from experts in the field and/or 2-3 names of experts to be consulted by the Prize Committee. Name and contact details of the proposer.

Nominations should be made electronically through the website https://iciamprizes.org/. The deadline for nominations is September 1st, 2021.

Please contact president@iciam.org if you have any question regarding the nomination procedure.
