Top mathematician Shing-Tung Yau leads China’s bid for 2030 maths Olympics
China is competing with Japan and Britain to host the 2030 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM), also known as the maths Olympics. This would be the second time China has hosted the event, the first being in 2002. The initiative is being spearheaded by renowned mathematician Shing-Tung Yau.
Yau, who leads a team of 40 mathematicians, emphasizes the ICM's importance as a platform for researchers to understand global mathematical developments and showcase their achievements. He believes that hosting the ICM in 2030 would be a pivotal moment for Chinese mathematics, inspiring young researchers to excel on the world stage. Yau, a Fields Medal winner, left Harvard in 2022 to teach at Tsinghua University, aiming to bolster China's mathematical capabilities and has established institutions to attract top talent.
