Nominations are invited for the London Mathematical Society prizes in 2027. The prizes celebrate outstanding achievements in mathematics and contributions to the field.
The Pólya Prize: awarded in recognition of outstanding creativity in, imaginative exposition of, or distinguished contribution to, mathematics within the UK.
The Senior Whitehead Prize: for work in, influence on, or service to mathematics, or recognition of lecturing gifts in the field of mathematics.
The Naylor Prize and Lectureship in Applied Mathematics: for work in, influence on, and contributions to applied mathematics and/or the applications of mathematics, and lecturing gifts.
The Berwick Prize: awarded to the author(s) of an outstanding piece of mathematical research published by the Society in the past 8 years. The awardee should have fewer than 15 years’ full-time involvement in mathematics.
The Whitehead Prizes: for work in and influence on mathematics to mathematicians with fewer than 15 years’ experience at post-doctoral level (up to six may be awarded).
The Anne Bennett Prize: for work in and influence on mathematics, particularly acting as an inspiration for women mathematicians.
We strongly encourage nominations for women and other underrepresented groups in the mathematical community. The Prizes Committee interprets the criteria for all prizes broadly, so if in doubt please submit a nomination.
See regulations for each prize at https://www.lms.ac.uk/prizes/lms-prizes. Any queries should be sent to prizes@lms.ac.uk.
Prizes nominations are considered for two rounds, so any nomination that was submitted in the last round and is still eligible will be considered.
