YOUNG BRITISH AND RUSSIAN MATHEMATICIANS
Following discussions with representatives of the Moscow Mathematical Society and the Russian Academy of Sciences, Council has agreed to change the original scheme established in 2000, as follows.
Each year, under the new scheme, up to three young Russian mathematicians will spend a few weeks in Britain giving a series of survey lectures on the work of their Russian seminar, and up to three young British mathematicians will spend a few weeks in Russia giving a series of survey lectures on the work of their school. The LMS will meet the costs of Russian visitors and the travel costs of UK mathematicians, while the host institutions of the Russian Academy of Sciences will meet the latter's local expenses.
It is intended that any mathematician in either Britain or Russia may propose to host such a visit. The proposal should include:
(i) name and brief cv of the visitor,
(ii) brief description of the course of lectures, and
(iiii) letter or email of agreement from the head of the host department.
The Scheme will be operated by the Programme Committee on behalf of the LMS and the Governing Body of Mathematical Sciences Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Managing Committee of Moscow Mathematical Society for the Russians.
(Young Russian mathematicians visiting Britain will still be encouraged to write survey articles--good survey articles are always welcome--but these should be submitted to the Bulletin of the LMS in the usual way: we have discontinued our former special arrangements for them.)
Please send proposals or enquiries to the Programme Secretary, Stephen Huggett (tel: 01752 232710, email: s.huggett@plymouth.ac.uk) or Sylvia Daly (tel: 020 7291 9971 email: grants@lms.ac.uk), or by post to
