The Fields Medal is the most important prize in Mathematics. It is awarded every four years by the International Mathematical Union, one of the sponsor institutions of NAISSMA 2022, on the occasion of the International Congress of Mathematicians, to two, three or four mathematicians not older than 40 years, for "Outstanding Discoveries in Mathematics". We will tell about the most important among the 68 medallists and how they influenced the development of Mathematics from the middle of 20th Century up to now. The talk is aimed to a general audience including, especially, non professional mathematicians.
