The LMS Committee for Women and Diversity in Mathematics invites expressions of interest from individuals or groups to organise and host events focused on diversity in mathematics in the academic year 2023/24. These events may fall into one of the following categories:
1. Women and Non-Binary People in Mathematics Day (up to £1,000 per grant)
A Women and Non-Binary People in Mathematics Day should aim to help early career women (including trans women) and non-binary mathematicians who are considering the next stages in their careers. It typically includes mathematical talks combined with panel discussions and networking opportunities.

2. Diversity in Mathematics Day (up to £1,000 per grant)
The Diversity in Mathematics Day should focus on some aspect of diversity beyond gender in the mathematical sciences. The event should feature the work of people in the mathematical sciences, whether in industry or academia, who come from a particular diversity group, and also offer opportunities for mathematicians from that diversity group for mentoring and networking.
Applicants typically come from a university or from a school, although any qualified person may apply. If the event is to be held in a school, it should encourage students from diverse backgrounds to become more involved in mathematics.

3. Girls in Mathematics Day (up to £500 per grant)
A Girls in Mathematics Day should be aimed at school students, up to and including A-level or equivalent, with mathematics as a main focus. There is flexibility regarding the format of the day but the event should include varied activities aimed at inspiring and encouraging girls to explore mathematics.
