The Committee is responsible for awarding grants to early career researchers and providing financial support for events aimed at early career researchers. In particular, the Committee is responsible for disbursing grants for the support of scientific meetings for early career researchers, under such general terms and conditions as Council shall approve and disbursing grants for the support of visits by early career mathematicians to institutions other than their own under such schemes as Council shall approve.
