Call for Nominations: Paul Lévy Prize 2026 in Probability Theory
The European Mathematical Society has announced the call for nominations for the Paul Lévy Prize 2026 in Probability Theory. Scientists who have made outstanding contributions to probability theory and its applications are eligible for this distinguished award.
Established by the European Mathematical Society, École Polytechnique, the Foundation of École Polytechnique, and the Paul Lévy family, with financial support from BNP Paribas, the Prize honors the memory of Paul Lévy, a renowned French mathematician who was a professor at École Polytechnique for nearly 40 years (1920-1959).
The 2026 Selection Committee, chaired by Martin Hairer, will consider nominations submitted to the EMS Office (ems-office@helsinki.fi) by the deadline of August 31st, 2025. Nominations should include:

The award includes a commemorative medal, a certificate, and a cash prize of €20,000. It will be presented at the Bernoulli Society's 45th Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications in Ithaca, USA, June 15-19, 2026, where recipients will be invited to present their work.
The inaugural Paul Lévy Prize was awarded to Jeremy Quastel at the 9th European Congress of Mathematicians in 2024.
