As the weather reports came in with promise of blizzard and chaos, members of the Abel Prize Committee were determined to hold a final and conclusive meeting at the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. This is where they decide on the Abel Prize Laureate, and not even the whirling snow could stop the following Abel Symposium. See the videos from the Abel Symposium here!

The annual symposium following the final meeting of the Abel Prize Committee will this year take place at the Institute of Advanced Study, Princeton, USA. Karen Uhlenbeck, the 2019 Abel Prize laureate, will give a lecture, along with Daniel Spielman, Hong Wang, and Curtis McMullen.
