LMS-Sheffield Mathematical Symposia 2028 – Call for Proposals

Deadline: 15 December 2026, 23:59 (GMT)

Each symposium will receive circa £50,000 in core funding, supported by EPSRC, LMS, ICMS, INI, and the University of Sheffield.

The LMS invites full proposals for the 2028 LMS-Sheffield Mathematical Symposium, part of a long-standing series of international research meetings. Events will be held at the University of Sheffield from July to early September and are expected to attract a significant UK audience.

The Society welcomes proposals from research areas that have not recently organised a Symposium. The lists of planned LMS-Sheffield Symposia and previous LMS-Bath Symposia are available to view from here: https://www.lms.ac.uk/events/mathematical-symposia#Sheffield

Proposals should include:

  • Scientific aims and novelty
  • Organisers and key participants (with attention to diversity)
  • Plans for a summer school or research incubator
  • Potential for additional funding or an industry day

Proposals will undergo peer review, with final decisions expected in June 2027.
