Awards and honors

In 1990, he received the Prix Peccot-Vimont of the

Académie des sciences. In 1986 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress on Mathematical Physics in Marseille.[citation needed] In 2006, he was an invited speaker with talk Evaluation maps, slopes, and algebraicity criteria at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid.[2]

From 2005 to 2015, Bost was a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France. He was elected in 2012 a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society and in 2016 a member of Academia Europaea.[3]
