Prof. Vitali Milman is awarded the EMET Prize for his crucial role in the discovery and development of the Concentration of Measure Phenomenon and its implications to geometric analysis, and especially for understanding the asymptotic properties of finite dimensional normed spaces, as well as for his essential contribution to the enhancement of excellence in mathematics in Israel.

Prof. Shmuel Agmon is awarded the EMET Prize for paving new paths in the study of elliptic partial differential equations and their boundary value problems and for advancing the knowledge in this field, as well for his essential contribution to the development of the spectral and scattering theories of Schroedinger operators.

Prof. Micha Sharir is awarded the EMET Prize for his pioneering work in computational geometry and its applications and for his fundamental contributions in the fields of algorithmic motion planning in robotics and discrete geometry.
