The Shevchenko Scientific Society of America and U.S.-Ukraine Foundation are sponsoring an annual  mathematics competition for young mathematicians in Ukraine.  The winner of the competition  will be awarded a prize of 5000 USD. The goal of the competition is to help young mathematicians who are working  at research institutions in Ukraine, and to stimulate the interest of young people in pure and applied science.  The competition is open to citizens of Ukraine who are working permanently in Ukraine, 35 years old, or younger, and who posses the degree of Kandydat, or D.Sc., in physico-mathematical  sciences.     

To participate, applicants should send the following documents by e-mail to the executive secretary of the Awards Committee  nekrash @ math . tamu . edu , using Adobe PDF or PS format:
  • Brief description of the results of the project  (3 pages or less, written in Ukrainian language) which is being submitted for the Mathematics Competition.
  • Curriculum Vitae, including a list of all publications.
  • List of   publications (no more than three) containing  the results  submitted  for the Mathematics Competition, including computer files of these publications.
  • List of important conference where the above results were presented, and type of  presentation (plenary session, special session, or other).
  • List of proposed reviewers (no more than three).
The Committee will forward the documents to the reviewers proposed by the applicant and, in addition,  to reviewers of its own choosing.  Based on the response received from the reviewers, the Committee will consider three of the top candidates and  decide the winner by majority vote.
 
The deadline for submitting applications to the 2008  Mathematics Competition is February 15, 2008. The results of the competition are planned to be announced by the end of May 2008.
 
Information about the Mathematics Competition will appear on the web-pages of  the Ukrainian and Kyiv mathematical societies, the  U.S.-Ukraine Foundation and  Shevchenko Scientific Society (USA). Announcements concerning the Mathematics Competition will be published in the Ukrainian Mathematical Journal and other scholarly publications in Ukraine.
