Riemann Prize Week
An International High-Level Mathematical Event
A gathering of world-class mathematicians from the most prestigious institutions — a truly exceptional scientific parterre.
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 high-level lectures and scientific exchanges.
The event takes place across three exceptional venues: Villa Toeplitz in Varese, the historic Istituto Lombardo Accademia di Scienze e Lettere in Milan, and the magnificent Salone Estense in Varese.
Riemann Prize 2026 Laureate
Sylvia Serfaty
NYU Courant Institute & Sorbonne Université
For her profound insights into the mathematics of many-particle systems and their connections to quantum mechanics and fluid dynamics — contributions that have transformed our understanding of the Ginzburg–Landau theory, vortex dynamics, and statistical mechanics of Coulomb-type systems.
