The Government of Hungary wishes to take this opportunity to congratulate academician Endre Szemerédi, who was awarded the Nobel Prize of mathematicians, the Abel Prize, for his fundamental contribution to the world of science.

This is now the second time a Hungarian scientist has been honoured with the prize established by the Norwegian Government, which is awarded by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.

The Government of Hungary, too, acknowledged Endre Szemerédi’s outstanding achievement in the field of discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science as a truly remarkable contribution on the occasion of Hungary’s national holiday, 15 March. The mathematician was awarded the Széchenyi Prize.
