The LMS Education Committee runs three grant schemes which aim to support colleagues building a teaching and scholarship profile within higher education mathematics. The central aim of these schemes is to support the ‘Pathways in Mathematics’ strategic goal of the LMS Strategy 2023–2028. As such, they seek to:
‘Promote the importance of mathematics and the provision of opportunities for those that wish to study and develop a career in mathematics and its applications’.
