The Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) was founded in September, 1998 by Mr. Landon T. Clay, a Boston businessman, and his wife, Lavinia D. Clay.
Purpose & Goals
The Clay Mathematics Institute is a privately funded
operating foundation dedicated to increasing and
disseminating mathematics. CMI supports the work of leading
researchers at various stages of their careers and organizes
conferences, workshops, and an annual summer school.
Contemporary breakthroughs are recognized by its annual
Research Award.
The Institute
operates in programs that introduce high school students to
mathematical research: the Clay Research Academy, the Ross
and PROMYS programs. CMI organizes public lectures and
publishes conference proceedings and monographs. The Institute is a
principal funder of the Independent University of Moscow. A
recent initiative was the preparation of a digital edition
of the oldest extant manuscript of Euclid's Elements
(Byzantium, 888 AD).
