  Rolf Nevanlinna
Rolf Herman Nevanlinna (October 22, 1895 - May 28, 1980) is perhaps the most famous Finnish mathematician.
Apart from mathematics, Nevanlinna took great interest in culture and politics.
His opinions in politics were sometimes somewhat controversial, but his talents as an amateur musician were widely appreciated.

 Rolf Nevanlinna Colloquia 1964--1997
Rolf Nevanlinna Colloquia is today an esteemed institution in the field of complex analysis, started as a consequence of Rolf Nevanlinna's activity at the University of Zürich between 1946-1963.
When Nevanlinna retired in 1963, some of his colleagues and former students, Hans Künzi and Kurt Strebel in the forefront, made an initiative to organize Nevanlinna Colloquia on a regular basis.
The larger Colloquia in 1965 and 1975 celebrated the 70th and 80th birthday of Rolf Nevanlinna.
