London Mathematical Society Call for Hardy Lectureship 2020 Nominations – Deadline 31 January 2019
The Society is seeking nominations for the Hardy Lectureship Lecture Tour in 2020. The Hardy Lectureship is named after G.H. Hardy, former President of the Society and De Morgan Medallist. It is normally awarded in even numbered years, to a distinguished overseas mathematician.
The Hardy Lecturer visits the UK for a period of about 2-3 weeks, and gives the Hardy Lecture at a Society meeting, normally held in London in late June/ early July. The Hardy Lecturer also gives at least six other lectures, on different topics, at other venues in the UK; the schedule is decided by the LMS Society, Lectures and Meetings Committee in consultation with the Hardy Lecturer, and is designed to allow as many UK mathematicians as possible to benefit from the Hardy Lecturer’s presence in the UK.
Hardy Lectureship 2020 - Nominations.
Criteria for nominations include:
1. The Nominee is not normally resident in the United Kingdom
2. The Nominee has not previously been awarded the Lectureship
3. The Lectureship is not restricted to mathematicians working in any specific area of mathematics.
The Society, Lectures and Meetings Committee will also consider:
· the achievements of the Nominee, including work in, influence on, and general service to mathematics; lecturing gifts; and breadth of mathematical interests;
· the overall benefit the UK mathematical community might derive from the visit;
· the possibility of bringing to the UK a mathematician who might otherwise visit rarely or never.
Nominations can include:
· A cover letter
· A short CV of the nominee
