LMS Research Schools on Knowledge Exchange with support from the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research (HIMR) and UKRI

HIMR_UKRI Logo

 

 
The London Mathematical Society 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.  
 
The LMS Research Schools take place in the UK and support participation of research students from both the UK and abroad. The speakers are expected to be international leaders with experience relevant to Knowledge Exchange.  The LMS Research Schools in Knowledge Exchange are a new venture modelled on the successful series of LMS Research Schools. Applicants may like to model their application on successful applications for Research Schools in 2019. These Research Schools were:
 

1. PDEs in Mathematical Biology - Modelling and Analysis, ICMS, Edinburgh, 29 April - 3 May 2019. 

2. Random Structures: From the Discrete to the ContinuousBath 1-5 July 2019. 

3. Mathematics of Climate, Reading, 8-12 July 2019. 

4. Rigidity, Flexibility and Applications, Lancaster, 18 - 22 July 2022

Information for Applicants
 
How to Apply: 
 
Proposals should be no more than four sides of A4 and include:
  • The case for Knowledge Exchange in the specified area of mathematics for the Research School (not more than one page):
    • The aims of the Research School, its appropriateness to the LMS Research School in Knowledge Exchange and the likely level of demand for the Research School both nationally and internationally. 
    • An outline of the programme, including dates (or potential dates), brief descriptions of the Knowledge Exchange activities and lectures, together with a description of the tutorial arrangements and any other academic support.
    • The names and short CVs (not more than one paragraph each) of the proposed speakers, tutorial assistants and organisers. Where a proposed speaker’s participation is not yet confirmed, reserves should also be listed. Organisers should highlight their experience in organising similar events.
