The Committee is responsible for awarding research grants and international grants. In particular, the Committee is responsible for disbursing grants for the support of scientific meetings, under such general terms and conditions as Council shall approve and disbursing grants for the support of visits by mathematicians to institutions other than their own under such schemes as Council shall approve.
