The ICIAM Prize Committee for 2007 now calls for nominations for the following five ICIAM Prizes to be awarded at the ICIAM 2007 Congress in Zuerich, see http://www.iciam.org/

*the Pioneer Prize, established for pioneering work introducing applied mathematical methods and scientific computing techniques to an industrial problem area or a new scientific field of applications.
The prize commemorates the spirit and impact of the American pioneers.

It was created on the initiative of SIAM, and was first awarded in 1999.
The Pioneer Prize is presently funded by SIAM.

*the Collatz Prize, established to provide international recognition to individual scientists under 42 years of age for outstanding work on industrial and applied mathematics.

It was created on the initiative of GAMM, and first awarded in 1999.
The Collatz Prize is presently funded by GAMM.

*the Lagrange Prize, established to provide international recognition to individual mathematicians who have made an exceptional contribution to applied mathematics throughout their careers.

It was created on the initiative of SMAI, and first awarded in 1999.
The Lagrange Prize is presently funded by SMAI, SEMA and SIMAI.

*the Maxwell Prize, established to provide international recognition to a mathematician who has demonstrated originality in applied mathematics.

It was created on the initiative of the IMA (with the support of the J.C. Maxwell Society), and first awarded in 1999.
The Maxwell Prize is presently funded by IMA.

*the Su Buchin Prize, established to provide international recognition of an outstanding contribution by an individual in the application of Mathematics to emerging economies and human development, in particular at the economic and cultural level in developing countries.

It was created on the initiative of the CSIAM, and will be awarded for the first time in 2007.
The Su Buchin Prize is presently funded by CSIAM.

The value of the prizes in 2007 will be $1,000 multiplied by the number of supporting societies.
