Mathematical Sciences: Mathematics and Physics

法国高等研究院Études Scientifiques （IHÉS）是位于巴黎附近的一个致力于基础研究的国际中心。该奖项提供的资金部分抵消了IHÉS为资助在研究所工作的美国研究人员的津贴和生活费而产生的费用。到目前为止，科学家一直是IHÉS最大的游客群体，远远领先于法国或俄罗斯科学家，这两个群体是最具代表性的。毫无疑问，吸引他们的是，IHÉS长期以来一直被认为是世界上数学和理论物理基础研究最好的地方之一。该研究所的永久教授和长期访客在国际上享有声誉，IHÉS所代表的广泛科学领域，研究人员在追求他们的工作时享有的完全自由以及跨学科丰富互动的许多机会是这种吸引力的关键因素。IHÉS与普林斯顿高级研究所（IAS）有许多共同的特点；它实际上是以国际科学院为蓝本的，尽管规模较小，因为它不接待社会科学和人文学科的研究人员。该奖项不仅将促进美国科学家进入提供优良工作条件的领先研究机构。它还将使整个科学界受益，因为它将为美国研究人员提供与来自世界各地的同行科学家合作的机会。在过去的几年里，IHÉS访问科学家来自的国家一直超过30个。

The Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHÉS)is an international centre dedicated to fundamental research and located near Paris. This award provides funding to partially offset the costs incurred by IHÉS to finance the stipends and subsistence fees of U.S. researchers spending time at the Institute.U.S. scientists have consistently been by far the largest group of IHÉS visitors, well ahead of French or Russian scientists, the next two best represented groups. They are undoubtedly attracted by the fact that IHÉS has long been recognized as one of the best places in the world for fundamental research in mathematics and theoretical physics. The international reputation of the Institute's permanent professors and long-term visitors, the broad range of scientific fields represented at IHÉS, the complete freedom researchers enjoy for pursuing their work and the many opportunities for very rich interactions across disciplines are the key factors of this attraction. IHÉS shares many of these characteristics with the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton; it was in fact modeled on IAS, although it is smaller in size, as it does not host researchers in social sciences and the humanities.The award will not only facilitate the access of U.S. scientists to a leading research institution offering excellent working conditions. It will also benefit the entire scientific community, as it will provide opportunities for U.S. researchers to work with fellow scientists from across the world. In the last years, the number of countries from which IHÉS visiting scientists originate has always been over 30.
