Spring and Autumn Meetings

The MSJ biannually organizes meetings of its members in spring and in autumn. In both of these meetings approximately 1500 members participate and more than 400 research papers are presented. The Spring Prize of the Society and the Publication Prize are awarded during the spring meeting; the Autumn Prize of the Society, the Takebe Takahiro Prize and the Seki Takakazu Prize are awarded during the autumn meeting. In both occasions the MSJ organizes "Lectures for Citizens" intended for non-professional audience, and holds various symposiums in which participants exchange ideas and express opinions on the role of mathematics and mathematical education.
