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 Dan Spielman, Hong Wang, and Curt McMullen.

Peter Lax was the recipient of the Abel Prize in 2005. He received the prize for for his groundbreaking contributions to the theory and application of partial differential equations and to the computation of their solutions.

"for his fundamental contributions to algebraic analysis and representation theory, in particular the development of the theory of D-modules and the discovery of crystal bases."

Meanwhile, the Abel Committee keeps its cards close to its chest, but is happy to talk about the work they do.
