About the LMS Global Affairs Committee
The Global Affairs Committee (GAC) advises Council on matters relating to the Society's Global Activities. This includes the delivery of the LMS strategy in relation to global engagement and considers opportunities for the delivery of these ambitions.
LMS Global Meeting London, 31 August to 3 September 2027
The LMS Global Meeting in London in September 2027 aims to bring together international partners, UK-based mathematicians (both early career and established), and organisations that support mathematics to strengthen global connections and foster collaboration across the mathematical sciences. The meeting will provide a forum to hear directly from partners around the world, engage internationally active researchers based in the UK and Europe, and showcase cutting-edge mathematics in its global context. More details on speakers and how to submit an Expression of Interest to attend will be made available shortly.
The Global Affairs Committee is chaired by International Secretary Minhyong Kim (ICMS). Other committee members are Shabnam Beheshti (City St Georges), Mark Chaplain (St Andrews), Frank Neumann (Pavia) and Gregory Sankaran (Bath).
The GAC can be contacted via global@lms.ac.uk.
Interaction with international mathematical bodies
The London Mathematical Society is the UK adhering body to the International Mathematical Union, and always plays a full role in the General Assembly of the IMU and in the International Mathematical Congresses.
The LMS nominates the UK representative for the IMU’s International Commission on Mathematical Instruction.
For the IMU’s Commission on Development and Exchange, the Society makes an annual contribution to support mathematicians from developing countries participating in IMU activities.
The Society is also a member of European Mathematical Society, actively participating in its work, and of the International Council on Industrial Applied Mathematics.
Reciprocity agreements
Members of certain overseas mathematical societies who are not normally resident in the United Kingdom may become members of the LMS under the terms of various Reciprocity Agreements. Subscription for Reciprocity Membership is fixed at 50% of the cost of Ordinary membership.
