André Lichnerowicz Prize

The André Lichnerowicz Prize for Poisson geometry is a mathematics distinction awarded since 2008 to reward notable contributions to Poisson geometry.

Description of the prize
The prize is assigned once every two years during the International Conference on Poisson Geometry in Mathematics and Physics to one or two young researchers who obtained their doctorate in the eight years before the Conference.

It is awarded by a jury composed by members of the scientific and advisory committees of the conference, and its amount is financed by one of the hosting institutions or funding bodies.

The 2020 edition of the Poisson conference was postponed to 2021 and then cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic; accordingly, the André Lichnerowicz Prize for 2020 was assigned online on May 27, 2021, in occasion of the Global Poisson Webinar.

The prize is named in memory of André Lichnerowicz (1915-1998), whose works have been fundamental in establishing Poisson geometry as a branch of modern mathematics.
