Corrado de Concini (born July 28, 1949 in Rome ) is an Italian mathematician.

De Concini obtained a diploma in mathematics from the University of Rome in 1971 and received his doctorate in 1975 from the University of Warwick under George Lusztig ( The mod-2 Cohomology of the Orthogonal Groups over a Finite Field ). From 1975 he was a lecturer (Professore Incaricato) at the University of Salerno and from 1976 at the University of Pisa , where he became an associate professor. In 1981 he went to the University of Rome , where he was professor of higher algebra from 1983. From 1988 to 1996 he was professor at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa and from 1996 professor at the University of Rome (La Sapienza). Among other things, he was visiting scholar at Brandeis University , the Mittag-Leffler Institute (1981), the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (1982), Harvard University (1987), MIT (1989), the University of Paris VI , the IHES (1992, 1996), the École normal supérieure (2004, Lagrange-Michelet chair) and at the MSRI (2000, 2002).

From 2003 to 2007 he was President of the Italian National Institute for Higher Mathematics (Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica, INdAM).

De Concini deals with algebraic geometry, quantum groups , invariant theory and mathematical physics.

In 1986 he was invited speaker at the ICM in Berkeley ( Equivariant embeddings of homogeneous spaces ). In 1992 he gave a plenary lecture at the first European Congress of Mathematicians in Paris ( Representations of quantum groups at roots of 1 ). In 1986 he received the Caccioppoli Prize . Since 1993 he has been a corresponding and since 2009 full member of the Accademia dei Lincei , since 2010 of the Accademia Italiana delle Scienze detta dei XL (whose mathematics gold medal he received in 1990) and since 2005 a corresponding member of the Istituto Lombardo. In 2015 he was elected to the Academia Europaea .
