von Kaven Award
The von Kaven Award is presented each year to an outstanding EU-based mathematician.
The von Kaven Foundation was established in December 2004 by its benefactor, Mr. Herbert von Kaven, of Detmold, Germany, and the 快三砍龙鈥檚 Executive Board. The Foundation operates as an unincorporated entity managed by the 快三砍龙, and its aims are realised through the bestowal of the von Kaven Award.
The recipient of the von Kaven Award is selected in accordance with the Foundation鈥檚 statutes by the 快三砍龙鈥檚 mathematics review board during its annual meeting.
