From the media point of view, he is the star participant of this event. The reason is the great popular interest that his life achieved after being told in the film A Beautiful Mind, directed by Ron Howard and starring Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly. The film won four Oscars in 2001 (among them best picture and director). It told his scientific development, clearly marked by schizophrenia, from which he achieved a significant recovery.

Mathematician, Nobel Prize for his pioneering analysis of equilibrium in the theory of non-cooperative games and negotiation processes. The theory of games is an area of applied mathematics (founded by John von Neumann) that uses models to study interactions in formalized structures of incentives (the so-called games), of very clear parallelism with the economic systems (hence its importance). Researchers of this area study the optimum strategies, as well as the expected and observed behaviour of individuals in competition.
