About the Event

A Week at the Forefront of Mathematics

The Riemann Prize Week brings together some of the most eminent mathematicians of our time to celebrate and honour outstanding contributions to the mathematical sciences. This landmark event gathers world-leading researchers in analysis, probability, mathematical physics, and related fields for a series of lectures and scientific exchanges.

The event takes place across three exceptional venues: Villa Toeplitz in Varese - The headquarter of RISM, The academy Istituto Lombardo Accademia di Scienze e Lettere in Milan, and the magnificent city hall Salone Estense in Varese.
