The Fields Institute was conceived as a place where mathematics research, innovation and education could flourish.
From our beginnings in a dark barn in Waterloo to the sun-filled space where we are now, one thing remains constant: our desire to foster an inclusive, equitable and collaborative culture where everyone can discover mathematics, and where mathematicians make meaningful contributions to the world.
Fields is saddened to learn of the passing of Dr.Zoé Chatzidakis, a brilliant mathematician, loyal friend, fierce advocate for her subject and strong supporter of women and young people. She died on the morning of January 22, 2025.
