The Fields Institute (FI), established in 1992, is an internationally renowned centre for mathematical collaboration, research, learning and innovation. Our programs help to train and develop highly qualified personnel (HQP), advance groundbreaking research, increase knowledge dissemination and transfer, enhance national and international collaboration, and create new partnership development opportunities, in the mathematical sciences in both fundamental and applied streams, in Canada and across the world. FI also promotes collaborations between university-based researchers and scientists in industry, and nurtures entrepreneurial enterprises that are based on mathematical and statistical ideas and innovation, and which touch many aspects of society. Since 1999, FIs research has generated several successful start-ups that have commercialized mathematical technologies, highlighting FIs potential for generating and commercializing Canadian IP to help drive economic growth and job creation. Among FI's principal activities are Thematic Programs, which highlight a broad variety of mathematical topics of global importance, both applied and purely theoretical. International experts visit FI in the course of these programs, actively exchanging ideas on the most current trends in their field, and mentoring young participants. FI is committed to providing an atmosphere that encourages the free expression and exchange of ideas in an inclusive and diverse environment. To further maximize our impact, FI is embarking on three initiatives in the next five years - Fields MAGIC (Mathematics And its Global Impact Center), Fields Academy and Fields MULTIPLIER. These new initiatives embody FIs concerted efforts to effectively channel our world-class mathematical innovation to address key societal and economic issues. MAGIC encompasses our ambitious, long-term projects carrying out cutting-edge mathematics-based research to address existing and future global challenges in ways that have the potential for life-changing impact in our world. A first example is seen in the Mathematics for Public Health (MfPH) initiative, funded by the Emerging Infectious Disease Modelling (EIDM) program of NSERC. Other thematic areas are proposed under MAGIC: diabetes and data-driven predictive health analytics, climate change and the risk of extreme events, smart villages and the end of poverty, the language of the brain, mathematics of 5G, and the mathematics of quantum algorithms. ACADEMY: Three new programs: 1) Shared graduate courses between Fields Principal Sponsoring Universities, in advanced topics in mathematics; 2) Upskilling courses designed to identify HQP with strong quantitative skills, and train them to be job-ready for specific industries e.g. our Cybersecurity Program; 3) Courses aligned with the research projects under MAGIC. MULTIPLIER: FI will continue building capacity for industry-academic collaboration and commercialization, with enhanced emphasis on bolstering the scale-up potential of mathematics-based Canadian IP and startups in Canada. MULTIPLIER is a four-way partnership between academics, industry, government and venture capital to channel de-risked and validated mathematical innovations to the marketplace. It is a successor to Fields-Centre for Quantitative Analysis and Modelling (CQAM).Mathematics remains profoundly important in our modern societies, and FI is poised to continue its role in shaping the future of mathematics in Canada, through our core and emerging initiatives. Support from NSERC forms part of the core base of FI's budget, allowing for long term planning of activities and providing leverage for resources from other governmental, academic and private sources. Through support from NSERC, we will continue to advance research, train and develop HQP, enhance national and international collaboration, foster new partnership development opportunities, and increase knowledge dissemination and transfer, in the mathematical sciences in Canada and internationally, whilst ensuring that th

菲尔兹研究所（FI）成立于1992年，是国际知名的数学合作、研究、学习和创新中心。我们的计划有助于培养和发展高素质人才（HQP），推进突破性研究，增加知识传播和转让，加强国家和国际合作，并创造新的合作伙伴关系发展机会，在加拿大和世界各地的基础和应用流数学科学。FI还促进大学研究人员和工业科学家之间的合作，并培育基于数学和统计思想和创新的创业企业，并触及社会的许多方面。自1999年以来，金融机构的研究已经产生了几个成功的初创企业，这些企业已经将数学技术商业化，突出了金融机构在产生和商业化加拿大知识产权以帮助推动经济增长和创造就业机会方面的潜力。在FI的主要活动是专题节目，其中突出了广泛的各种数学主题的全球重要性，无论是应用和纯理论。国际专家在这些计划的过程中访问FI，积极交流各自领域的最新趋势，并指导年轻参与者。FI致力于提供一个鼓励在包容和多样化的环境中自由表达和交流思想的氛围。为了进一步最大限度地发挥我们的影响力，FI将在未来五年内启动三项计划-- Fields MAGIC（数学及其全球影响力中心）、Fields Academy和Fields MULTIPLIER。这些新举措体现了金融机构的共同努力，有效地引导我们的世界级数学创新，以解决关键的社会和经济问题。MAGIC包括我们雄心勃勃的长期项目，开展尖端的基于植物学的研究，以应对现有和未来的全球挑战，这些挑战有可能改变我们世界的生活。第一个例子是由NSERC的新兴传染病建模（EIDM）计划资助的公共卫生数学（MfPH）计划。MAGIC还提出了其他主题领域：糖尿病和数据驱动的预测性健康分析，气候变化和极端事件的风险，智能村庄和贫困的终结，大脑的语言，5G的数学和量子算法的数学。学院：三个新方案：1）在数学高级主题领域主要赞助大学之间共享研究生课程; 2）旨在识别具有较强定量技能的HQP的技能提升课程，并培训他们为特定行业做好工作准备，例如我们的网络安全计划; 3）与MAGIC下的研究项目相一致的课程。多路复用器：FI将继续建设产学合作和商业化的能力，重点是加强加拿大知识产权和初创企业在加拿大的扩大潜力。MULTIBERER是学术界、工业界、政府和风险投资之间的四方合作伙伴关系，旨在将风险降低和经过验证的数学创新推向市场。数学在我们的现代社会中仍然非常重要，FI准备通过我们的核心和新兴举措，继续在塑造加拿大数学的未来方面发挥作用。来自NSERC的支持构成了FI预算的核心基础的一部分，允许长期规划活动，并为其他政府，学术和私人来源的资源提供杠杆作用。通过NSERC的支持，我们将继续推进研究，培训和发展HQP，加强国家和国际合作，促进新的伙伴关系发展机会，并增加知识传播和转让，在加拿大和国际数学科学，同时确保
