Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Prize | Fundació Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer

2027 Edition

Conditions

The prize will be awarded to a mathematical monograph of an expository nature presenting recent developments in an active area of mathematical research to which the applicant has made significant contributions.

The monograph must be original, unpublished, and not subject to any prior copyright agreement. It must be written in English and contain at least 150 pages. In exceptional cases, manuscripts in other languages may be considered.

To be eligible for the present call, none of the authors of the submitted monograph may have received the prize during the previous ten years (2017–2026).

The prize, amounting to 15,000 euros, is awarded by the Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Foundation. If the winning monograph has more than one author, the prize will be divided equally among the authors.

The winning monograph will be published in the Birkhäuser series Progress in Mathematics, subject to the series’ standard copyright and authors’ rights regulations.

The submission of a monograph implies acceptance of all the above conditions.

The winning monograph will be announced in Barcelona in April 2027.

Submission of monographs and further information

Monographs must be submitted online using this form, with the manuscript attached as a PDF file.

The source file need not be submitted, but it should preferably be prepared in LaTeX.

Submissions must be received by November 27, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. (GMT+1).
