Poisson 2016 | Geneva and Zurich | School June 27 - July 2 | Conference July 4 - 8 |
The prize:
The André Lichnerowicz Prize in Poisson geometry was established in 2008. It is awarded for notable contributions to Poisson geometry, every two years at the "International Conference on Poisson Geometry in Mathematics and Physics", to researchers who completed their doctorates at most eight years before the year of the Conference. The prize is named in memory of André Lichnerowicz (1915-1998) whose work was fundamental in establishing Poisson geometry as a branch of mathematics. It is awarded by a jury composed of the members of the scientific/advisory committee of the conference. The prize for the year 2016 was awarded to Pavel Mnev and Travis Schedler. |
