The Fields Institute is a research facility in the mathematical sciences. The Institute's mandate includes programs devoted to research in the mathematical sciences, advancement in mathematics education, enhanced graduated and post-doctoral training opportunities, and developing partnerships with industry to encourage technology transfer.

On June 18-19, 2002 the Institute will be celebrating its 10th Anniversary with 2 days of lectures and visual displays celebrating the mathematicians and activities which have made Fields a unique research facility. Also scheduled is a reception for Fields alumni and friends and a banquet with keynote speaker, William Pulleyblank.

Founded in 1992, the Fields Institute was initially located at the University of Waterloo. The Fields Institute officially opened at its 222 College Street location on the campus of the University of Toronto on November 17, 1995. The building The Fields Institute occupies was designed specifically to accommodate its research functions and activities by Toronto architects Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg.

The Institute is named for Canadian mathematician John Charles Fields (1863-1932), whose will established the International Medal for Outstanding Discoveries in Mathematics, now known as the Fields Medal.
