Letter

of invitation

On behalf of the French mathematical community, we are

delighted to invite the International Congress of Mathematicians

2022 to the city of Paris from August 9 to 17, 2022. Our bid to

host this important event is supported by the French State and

public organizations, by the French mathematical institutions

and the main European mathematical societies.

As a country with a rich mathematical heritage and a long

tradition of hospitality for scientific gatherings, we believe we

have certain obligations towards the international mathematical

community. Hosting the ICM will provide a unique opportunity

to make mathematics truly open to the world and to transfer

knowledge to future generations. In this spirit we plan to organize

a wide array of schools ranging over the entire mathematical

spectrum before and after the ICM. These will be aimed at young

mathematicians from developing countries. Financial support

will also be made available to allow them to take part in these

schools and in the ICM. We also plan to hold a large number of

innovative public awareness activities in 2022 and beforehand.

We very much look forward to welcoming our colleagues from all

over the world to Paris, the place where Hilbert presented his list of

problems more than a century ago. The entire French

mathematical community stands behind this bid and is entirely

committed to the success of ICM 2022!
