The International Erwin Schrodinger Institute for Mathematical Physics (ESI) was founded in 1993 "with the aim of providing a meeting place for leading experts in Mathematical Physics and Mathematics in the international scientific community, nurturing the development and exchange of ideas not only in the international arena, but also in Austria through its affiliations with Austrian universities." Visiting scientists have contributed over 1,500 preprints, which are posted online by report number. The Evaluation section provides available data on the publication of the preprint articles in mathematical journals, showing that "in less than 10 years of the existence of the ESI, 144 ESI preprints have been published in top 10% journals."
