ICCM Medal of Mathematics
Established in 1998
Early entitled "Morningside Medal of Mathematics", this medal is the top award for world-wide Chinese mathematics, named as "Chinese Fields Medal". It recognizes the outstanding mathematicians of Chinese descendent under the age of 45 for their achievements in the research of pure and applied mathematics, and for their great contributions to the development of mathematics.

ICCM Mathematics Contribution Award
Hua Prize
Established in 2025
The Hua Prize will be first awarded at ICCM 2025. Together with the Chern Prize and Hua Prize, it is listed as the three main awards of ICCM to award Chinese mathematicians older than 45 years. Shing-Tung Yau said: "We have set up the Chern Prize in ICCM to honor Chinese mathematicians who are over 45 years old. It has a long history. But as time evolves, there are many more subjects and many mathematicians who should be awarded. Therefore, we decided to set up two more prizes parallel to the Chern Prize at the upcoming major meeting of ICCM (2025 ICCM)". The Hua Prize is established to commemorate Professor Loo-keng Hua, known as the "Father of Modern Chinese Mathematics", who has brought international reputation to Chinese mathematics. The award focuses on Chinese mathematicians worldwide over the age of 45 who have made pioneering achievements in various fields.
Lin Prize
Established in 2025
The Lin Prize will be first awarded at ICCM 2025. Together with the Chern Prize and Hua Prize, it is listed as the three main awards of ICCM to award Chinese mathematicians older than 45 years. Shing-Tung Yau said: "We have set up the Chern Prize in ICCM to honor Chinese mathematicians who are over 45 years old. It has a long history. But as time evolves, there are many more subjects and many mathematicians who should be awarded. Therefore, we decided to set up two more prizes parallel to the Chern Prize at the upcoming major meeting of ICCM (2025 ICCM)". The establishment of the award is to commemorate the great applied mathematician Chia-Chiao Lin, and aims to reward mathematicians over 45 years old who have made extraordinary achievements in the field of applied mathematics.
ICCM Best Paper Award (BPA)
Established in 2017
The ICCM Best Paper Award is an annual award, under the auspices of the International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (ICCM). Each year, recent papers in pure and applied mathematics with at least one author of Chinese descent are nominated by mathematicians worldwide. The nominated papers are then evaluated by a Selection Committee consisting of world-renowned experts from various areas in mathematics. Awards are given to papers based on their originality and their impact on their area of research.

ICCM Undergraduate Paper Award (UPA)
Established in 2022
The Undergraduate Paper Award (UPA) was established in 2022 as an annual award, under the auspices of the International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (ICCM). The goal of this award is to promote mathematical research at an undergraduate level, and to recognize significant mathematical achievements among undergraduates, regardless of nationality. Entrant papers are evaluated on their mathematical creativity and originality.
ICCM Graduate Thesis Award (GTA)
Established in 2022
The Graduate Thesis Award (GTA) was established in 2022 as an annual award, under the auspices of the International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (ICCM). The goal of this award is to promote advanced mathematical research by PhD students, and to recognize their significant mathematical achievements, regardless of nationality. Entrant papers are evaluated on their mathematical creativity, originality and depth.
