The London Mathematical Society sets aside funds to be used for making grants to support the attendance of UK-based mathematicians at the European Congresses of Mathematics (held every four years) and the International Congress of Mathematicians (also held every four years) The Society would particularly like to support those mathematicians at an early stage in their career, including postdocs.
ICM 2026 Travel Grants - applications are now closed
LMS ICM 2026 Travel Grants for Early Career Researchers - Applications now closed; the deadline was 22 February 2026.
Grants of up to £500.00 were available to contribute to the costs of attending the ICM 2026, not to meet them entirely. The grants are not to support attendance at Satellite Meetings.
Applicants had to be Early Career Researchers, defined as within five years of PhD completion (excluding career breaks), based at a UK institution. UK-based PhD students whose research would benefit from attending the meeting could also apply but their applications needed to be strongly supported, with a clear mathematical case, by their supervisor.
