Clay Mathematics Institute Enhancement and Partnership Program

To extend the international reach of the Research School, prospective organisers may also wish to consider applying to the Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) for additional funding under the CMI’s Enhancement and Partnership Program. Further information about this program can be found here. Prospective organisers are advised to discuss applications to this program as early as possible by contacting the CMI President, Martin Bridson (president@claymath.orgPlease note, as a condition of the Enhancement and Partnership Program, the event must already be viable without this funding; it is for enhancement only. There is no need to wait for a decision from the LMS on your Research School application before contacting the CMI about funding through this program.
