Testimonials from previous grant holders

The grant was exceedingly useful for us and enabled us to organise a UK-wide mathematics STEM focused HE education event for academics, lecturers and educators (including particularly several ECRs) from multiple UK universities and we are immensely grateful to the LMS for their continued support on this.
