About the ICM
The ICM is hosted by the International Mathematical Union (IMU). The first official congress took place in Zurich in 1897, though the idea for the conference originated during the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.
This year's conference is supported by the American Mathematical Society and the Simons Foundation, and marks the first ICM in the United States since 1986. Thousands of mathematicians will attend the event, with hundreds from developing countries receiving travel support grants. The 2026 meeting comes at an important time for the field, as international collaboration and cooperation are critical for mathematical progress.
About the Fields Medals and Other IMU Prizes
A highlight of each ICM since 1936 has been the presentation of the Fields Medals, often called the "Nobel Prize of mathematics." At each conference, two to four mathematicians under 40 years of age are honored for making major contributions to the field.
The IMU will also present the Abacus Medal for achievements in mathematical aspects of information science, the Carl Friedrich Gauss Prize for contributions that have found significant applications outside of mathematics, the Chern Medal for outstanding achievements in mathematics, and the Leelavati Prize for public outreach.
Important Topics at This Year's ICM
This year's ICM will feature talks and lectures on exciting research across virtually every mathematical discipline, from the Kakeya conjecture to orthogonal projections to the axiomatization of fluid dynamics.
A topic that will be top of mind for many attendees is artificial intelligence, which is sparking debate over the humanity of mathematics and promising to fundamentally change how many mathematicians conduct their research. Famed mathematician and Fields Medalist Terence Tao will give a public lecture on "Mathematics in the Age of AI" on July 24, and other speakers will discuss the relationship between math and AI and the impact of AI on math education.

Innodata Releases the First Stage of Its AI Cyber Training Suite to Enable AI Coding Agents to Write - and Repair - Secure Code4.8.2026 14:30:00 CEST | Press release
Twelve datasets and evaluation systems, built by hand from thousands of real-world security flaws, give model builders and enterprises a proven way to keep AI-generated code from introducing vulnerabilities. NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 4, 2026 / INNODATA INC. (Nasdaq:INOD) today released the first stage of its AI Cyber Training Suite - twelve datasets and evaluation systems that train AI coding agents to write code that avoids known security flaws, to avoid introducing new ones, and to patch existing vulnerabilities in the software companies already run. The suite addresses what has become a central barrier to trusting AI-written code: the risk that an agent, while adding a feature or modernizing a legacy system, quietly opens a security hole. The AI Cyber Training Suite works across the stack of coding agents - the models, the harnesses, and the tools - to help ensure the code they produce is not just functional, but secure. It is available to model builders and enterprise
