The Research Foundation of the Rolf Nevanlinna Institute

The Research Foundation of the Rolf Nevanlinna Institute supports the activities of the Institute as well as mathematical research in general. The Foundation supports the International Visitor Program in Mathematics jointly coordinated by The Finnish Mathematical Society. Some past and future main events of the visitor program are the theme years:

• 2003-2004 Inverse Problems and Related Topics
• 2004-2005 New Techniques in Applied Stochastics
• 2005-2006 Function spaces and differential equations
• 2006-2007 Algorithmic and Discrete Mathematics
• 2007-2008 Numerics

The Foundation awards an annual prize for the best doctoral thesis in Mathematics. Currently the Foundation cannot support other activities.
