James Arthur, University of Toronto (Canada), is the winner of the 2015 Wolf Prize in Mathematics "for his monumental work on the trace formula and his fundamental contributions to the theory of automorphic representations of reductive groups." The citation states that "Arthur's ideas, achievements and the techniques he introduced will have many more deep applications in the theory of automorphic representations, and the study of locally symmetric spaces. Arthur's work is a mathematical landmark that will inspire future generations of mathematicians."

Arthur received his PhD from Yale University in 1970, and has taught at the University of Toronto since 1979. Arthur has achieved many distinctions in his career, including being a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and the Royal Society of London, and member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 1999 he received the Canada Gold Medal for Science and Engineering from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, making him the only mathematician to have won Canada's top award in science. Arthur has been an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians three times and was invited to give an address at the 2005 Abel Prize Celebration in honor of award winner Peter Lax. Arthur served as president of the AMS 2005-2006, was elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in 2014, and is a Fellow of the AMS. The Wolf Prize Laureates receive their awards from the President of the State of Israel. The prize presentation takes place at a special ceremony at the Knesset Building (Israel's Parliament), in Jerusalem.

In 30 January 2015, Professor Jean - Michel Rigo, Vice Rector of the University of Hassel (Belgium) had a short visit in the Institute of Mathematics (VAST).
Professor Le Tuan Hoa - Director of the Institute of Mathematics; Professor Nguyen Viet Dung - Deputy director of the Institute  of Mathematics; and Professor Ho Dang Phuc - Head of the Department of Probability and Mathematical Statistics organized a meeting with Professor Jean - Michel Rigo.

At the meeting, the two sides shared information on organizing structure and scientific activities of the two institutions, and discussed on the possibility of cooperation in scientific researches and education.

Tại buổi làm việc, hai bên đã giới thiệu cho nhau về cơ cấu tổ chức và hoạt động khoa học của hai cơ quan, đồng thời thảo luận về khả năng hợp tác trong nghiên cứu khoa học và đào tạo.
