Objective: 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.
Value of award: 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.
Criteria: These social events create a welcoming environment where mathematics students can:
- Learn more about the LMS: Information about LMS membership benefits which includes access to journals, conferences, networking opportunities, career resources, funding opportunities and upcoming LMS events can be shared informally. This approachable format makes it easier for students to engage with the LMS.
- Network with peers: These events offer valuable opportunities for students to connect with like-minded individuals, build friendships, and foster a sense of community. Networking can lead to collaborations, mentorship opportunities, and a stronger sense of belonging within the mathematical community.
- Events must be held and claims must be submitted before 31 July, which is the end of the LMS financial year.
Deadlines and decision timetable:
Applications should be submitted well in advance of the date of the conference or research workshop.
