2026 Simons Fellows in Mathematics Announced
Sabbatical research leaves provide mathematicians with opportunities for intellectual stimulation and collaboration that foster innovative research. Recognizing this, the Simons Foundation’s Mathematics & Physical Sciences division is pleased to announce the latest cohort of Simons Fellows in Mathematics. These fellows receive funding to make sabbatical or equivalent research leaves more productive by extending them from a single term to a full academic year.
These grants will be funded by the Simons Foundation International and administered by the Simons Foundation.
