Below is a list of annual events hosted by an external institution for which the LMS provides funding.
Universities may bid to host these activities - see the relevant webpage for details. Opportunities to bid for funding will also be advertised on our homepage.
LMS Student Rep Activities Fund
The LMS Student Representative Support Fund aims to strengthen the connection between the London Mathematical Society and mathematics students, encouraging them to become LMS members. Funding is provided for student-led social events. Grants of £300 per event are available, enabling student representatives to organise various gatherings that could include coffee mornings, drinks receptions or other informal gatherings.
Undergraduate Summer Schools
The Undergraduate Summer School is a two-week course which aims to introduce modern mathematics to the best UK undergraduates who will enter their final year the following autumn, and encourage them to think about an academic career in mathematics. A grant of up to £25,000 is available to support the annual LMS Undergraduate Summer School.
LMS Research Schools
The Research Schools provide training for research students in all contemporary areas of mathematics. Students and post-docs from both the UK and abroad can meet a number of leading international experts in the topic as well as other early career researchers working in related areas. Grants of up to £15,000 are available to support these Research Schools.
LMS Research Schools on Knowledge Exchange
The Research Schools on Knowledge Exchange are designed to provide training in Knowledge Exchange between mathematical research and users of mathematics. The Research Schools provide training for research students and post-docs in Knowledge Exchange and in the underpinning mathematics. Grants of up to £15,000 are available to support these Research Schools in Knowledge Exchange.
LMS Regional Meetings & Workshops
The LMS runs an annual programme of Society Meetings, including the three regional meetings (Midlands, Northern, South West and South Wales). Formal business of the Society takes place at the beginning of the meeting, including the election of new members of the Society. Members and non members are welcome to attend the meetings. Funding of up to £4,500 is available to support each of these annual Regional Meetings & Workshops.
Mathematical Symposia
The Mathematical Symposia are an established and recognised series of international research meetings that provide an excellent opportunity to explore an area of research in depth, to learn of new developments, and to instigate links between different branches.
LMS Interdisciplinary Collaboration Grants
This grant programme supports universities in hosting joint lectures and events that connect mathematics with other disciplines. Examples include lectures or workshops exploring the intersection of mathematics with, for example, medicine, or mathematics and engineering. As this is a new grant programme, the criteria are designed to be flexible to assess demand. Grants of £400 per event are available, with a total fund of £4,000, supporting up to 10 events.
