Hardy Lectureship
The Hardy Lectureship is named after G.H. Hardy, former President of the Society and De Morgan Medallist. It is awarded in even numbered years, to a distinguished overseas mathematician.
The Lecturer visits the UK for a period of about two weeks, and gives the Hardy Lecture at a Society meeting, normally held in London in July. The Lecturer also gives at least two other lectures, on different topics, at other venues in the UK; the schedule is decided by the Programme Secretary in consultation with the President and the Lecturer, and is designed to allow as many UK mathematicians as possible to benefit from the Lecturer’s presence in the UK.
