This week was the end of the ICM 2018 held in Rio de Janeiro, hosting around 3,500 mathematicians from all over the world. This gathering happens every four years, and one of the most famous activity is the awarding of four Fields Medals to distinguished mathematicians under 40 years old, together with other prizes, such as the Gauss Prize , the Nevanlinna Prize , the  Chern Medal Award , the Emmy Noether Lecture Prize, and the  Leelavati Prize . But what exactly happens in a Congress of Mathematicians? This was a very intense program, consisting of 9 days of activities ranging from talks, exhibits, social events, poster presentations, and panels. The prime objective is to bring mathematicians together and learn from one another of new theories, trends, subjects, and to discuss challenges in the field, as well as in the community.  There were Plenary talks and Prize talks were leaders on their field would communicate their work and revolutionary ideas.
