The venue for the Congress is chosen, from the bids received for it, by the International
Mathematical Union (IMU). India has won the bid for holding the ICM in 2010. This is the
first time the event is to happen in India and only the third time in Asia
(after Kyoto-1990 and Beijing-2002). With the concurrence of IMU, it has been decided
to hold ICM 2010 at Hyderabad during August 19 – 27, 2010. This congress will be held
