ICMP 2003

XIV International Congress
on Mathematical Physics

July 28 - August 2, 2003
University of Lisbon, Portugal

The Group of Mathematical Physics of the University of Lisbon prepared the 14th International Congress on Mathematical Physics, an event held every 3 years. Around 1000 participants were expected and this was the biggest scientific event ever organized in the Iberian Peninsula for this interdisciplinary field of research.
YRS: The Young Researchers Symposium (YRS) was held immediately before ICMP 2003, at Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon.
Various satellite meetings are also scheduled, in the Iberian Peninsula and outside.

MESSAGE FOR PARTICIPANTS
To all participants in the ICMP 2003 and the Young Researchers Symposium:

Our main sponsor is the European Commission (High Level Scientific Conference HPCF-CT-2002-00368). It is very important to answer the questionnaire on-line prepared by this commission, and whose goal is to evaluate the impact of the YRS and ICMP, since the support of such events may depend on your evaluation.

Please go to

Programme
Plenary lectures: one-hour talks by invited speakers during which no other congress activities took place.
Sessions: Each session consisted of 3 hours of invited talks of a length between 15 and 30 minutes. For each session, there was a poster session which allowed to discuss with the authors in a friendly environment.
The full conference schedule is available.
 
Information for authors
World Scientific will publish the Proceedings of ICMP 2003. Authors contributing to these Proceedings were expected to come to the Congress with their papers in digital format and ready for publication. Please check the instructions for submission of papers.
 
Henri Poincaré Prize
The IAMP awarded the Henri Poincaré Prize, sponsored by the Daniel Iagolnitzer Foundation. Huzihiro Araki, Elliott Lieb and Oded Schramm were awarded this prize in Lisbon at the ICMP 2003, and each gave a special Henri Poincaré Lecture during the Young Researchers Symposium.
