The Committee for Women and Diversity in Mathematics offers the schemes below to support mathematicians.
Inclusion and Diversity Fund
The Inclusion and Diversity Fund aims to support events that promote EDI in mathematics, broadly speaking. The focus of these events may be on any aspect of diversity, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, trans identity, sexual orientation, sex, age, religion or religious belief, neurodiversity, socioeconomic status, disabilities, and background. The fund is supported by the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research.
Maximum award per application: £1,000
Deadline: Monday 20 April 2026, 23:59 (BST)

Deadline: Monday 27 April 2026, 23:59 (BST)
