Greetings from the Organizers of ICM 2014
The next International Congress of Mathematicians will take place at Coex in Seoul,
Korea, from Wednesday August 13, through Thursday August 21, 2014. The preregistration process for the ICM 2014 is underway. If you have not yet pre-registered,please do so by following simple instructions at http://icm2014.org. ICM e-News isbeing distributed to people who pre-registered for the congress. We strongly recommend
you to visit ICM homepage regularly for updated information and ICM related activities.
We look forward to welcoming you at the congress in Seoul, Korea.

In the center of Seoul
With a five-millennia-long history, Korea is an attractive place to visit. Seoul, the capital of Korea for over
600 years, is a vibrant modern city with population of 11 million, where the traditional culture and cuttingedge of trends co-exist side-by-side in perfect harmony. With a low crime rate and a state-of-the-art subway
system, it is one of the safest cities in the world. The congress venue, COEX, is at the heart of downtown
Seoul, located right next to a subway station. There are over 7,500 hotel rooms within 5km of COEX.

Family-friendly ICM
Seoul is filled with great family-friendly activities. An on-site childcare facility will be available for ICM
participants accompanying family members. Also we recommend some of Seoul’s best places for travelingfamily - a day at a theme park to youth-focused outdoor events and countless playgrounds in the heart ofdowntown. Three Disney-style theme parks (LOTTE WORLD, SEOUL LAND, and EVERLAND) are around
10 min to 1 hour bus/subway ride from central Seoul. Especially during summer season, all the theme parks
are open late at night performing fantastic laser shows and fireworks. Visit Seoul ICM with your family, andexperience wonderful festivals and magnificent shows at the theme parks in Korea! Family-friendly ICM will
make your journey much more special.

Submission of short communications
A call for submission of 20-minute short communications (or contributed talks) will soon be announced. We
will accept submissions of contributed talks during Jan. 1 ~ Feb 28, 2014 at the ICM homepage.

NANUM 2014: Application period extended
1,000 mathematicians from developing countries will be invited to Korea during ICM 2014 under the ICM
2014 signature travel grant program, called “NANUM 2014”, meaning ‘generous sharing’ in Korean.
Applications can only be submitted online at http://nanum2014.org. By Aug. 31, 2013, about 2,800 NANUM
applications were received, and the online submission system was deactivated. However, by popular demand,the submission site will re-open on Oct. 16, 2013 and will remain open until Oct. 31, 2013.
