Conditions

The prize will be awarded for a mathematical monograph of an expository nature presenting the latest developments in an active area of research in Mathematics, in which the applicant has made important contributions.

The monograph must be original, unpublished and must not be subject to any previous copyright agreement, written in English, and of at least 150 pages. In exceptional cases, manuscripts in other languages may be considered.

In order to propose a monograph for the prize object of the present call, none of its authors shall have received the prize during the last ten years (2015-2024).

The prize, amounting to 15.000 euros, is provided by the Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Foundation. In the event that the awarded monograph is by more than one author, the prize will be divided equally between the authors. The winning monograph will be published in Birkhäuser’s series “Progress in Mathematics”, subject to the usual regulations concerning copyright and author’s rights of the series

The submission of a monograph implies the acceptance of all of the above conditions.

The winning monograph will be announced in Barcelona in April, 2025.
