IMAGINARY is collaborating at the IMU-sponsored “DonAuction” (donation with auction), held during the ICM 2014 for the first time. The auction will be available online during the ICM and will culminate with an actual physical auction event on August 20 at 5:30 pm.

More than twenty different mathematical objects will be available in an “all-pay” or Chinese auction. For each US $5.00 or 5,000 KRW (KRW = South Korean Won), participants will receive a ticket that they can put in the “hat” for an object on auction. The contributions will go to the Adopt-a-Mathematics-Graduate-Student program.

Each of the diverse mathematical objects will be unique, have aesthetic appeal, and mathematical meaning. Some of them will be special prints of pictures from the IMAGINARY galleries – designed by or in collaboration with prominent mathematicians and signed by them, some will be 3D prints, some will be objects of mathematically historical events, etc.

Please participate and donate! Details on how to donauct and on all the objects can be found here: http://donauction.org/

The DonAuction is an initiative of the Friends of the International Mathematical Union (FIMU), in collaboration with the International Mathematical Union (IMU), the International Congress of Mathematicians 2014 (ICM-2014), IMAGINARY (a project by the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach), the International Congress of Women Mathematicians (ICWM 2014), the National Institute for Mathematical Sciences (NIMS) and Ewha Womans University.
