Yablonowsky Fund
The Yablonowsky Fund was established in the name of IME-USP, and is managed by it, based on the legacy of Mrs. Eugênia Yablonowsky, with the aim of promoting scientific research in Mathematics at USP, thus honoring her husband, Pedro Yablonowsky, a Mathematics enthusiast, who lived in São Paulo with his wife during the first half of the 20th century.
In addition, scholars rewarded by the scholarships will compete for a cash prize also funded by the fund. The amount of the prize is a one year scholarship. The first prize will be awarded to the scholar who is considered to have produced the best work during the respective scholarship period, among all scholars up to that point.
The management of the Yablonowsky Fund by IME-USP is the responsibility of the Fund’s Management Council.
