The Council for the Mathematical Sciences (CMS) has now formally transitioned into the Learned Societies Forum (LSF) of the Academy for the Mathematical Sciences.
The CMS played a pivotal role in uniting the Learned Societies and laying the groundwork for the Academy. Its transition into the LSF is a natural evolution, reinforcing the Academy’s role as the national voice for the mathematical sciences while strengthening vital partnership across the breadth of the community.
The LSF will provide a dedicated forum within the Academy for the Edinburgh Mathematical Society (EMS), the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), the London Mathematical Society (LMS), the Operational Research Society (ORS), and the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), enabling these societies to come together and to exchange ideas and collaborate on shared priorities - both with the Academy and with each other.
