The International Functional Analysis Award 2026 is accepting submissions from December 1, 2025, until January 15, 2026.

To encourage scholars to publish valuable articles, an annual award is given to individuals who have completed a PhD in any country worldwide within the last four years. These awards are granted to those who have jointly or solely authored excellent research articles in functional analysis, operator theory, and related topics.

The selection of awardee(s) is contingent upon the quality of a principal published or accepted research article and the presentation of up to four additional selected published or accepted research articles from each candidate. All introduced papers should include MSC46 or MSC47 (Primary or Secondary). The decision is made by an international panel of renowned mathematicians. The award comprises a certificate and a €200 book voucher from the Birkhäuser publishing house.

We welcome applications from individuals who have earned their Ph.D. after January 1, 2022, in any country. To apply, please provide only the following information (no recommendation letters are considered):

1. A PDF file of a primary published or accepted research article.
2. A list (in the format of https://mathscinet.ams.org/mrlookup) of up to four published research articles. Please do not send files of these articles.
3. The supervisor's name, university, and the graduation date.

The previous referee committees included editors from three Springer journals Banach J. Math. Anal., Ann. Funct. Anal., and Adv. Oper. Theory. In addition, some other mathematicians such as William B. Johnson, Victor Nistor, Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann, Palle E. T. Jorgensen, Peter Semrl, Mihai Putinar, Rajendra Bhatia, Tomas Dominguez Benavides, Richard M. Aron, Erling Størmer, Gadadhar Misra, Gilles Godefroy, Fumio Hiai, Adam Skalski, Fritz Gesztesy, Andreas Defant, Matthew Daws, Tsuyoshi Ando, Jose Bonet Solves have been also members of the referee committees.
