Dear All

We would be grateful if you could circulate the notice below about the deadline for the Call for Proposals to organise an LMS-Bath Mathematical Symposium in 2024 to anyone who may be interested in organising an LMS-Bath Mathematical Symposium in 2024.

Best wishes

Reminder: LMS-BATH MATHEMATICAL SYMPOSIA 2024 - CALL FOR PROPOSALS: deadline 15 December 2022

The London Mathematical Society is pleased to announce its Call for Proposals for the LMS-Bath Mathematical Symposia to be held at the University of Bath in 2024. It is intended that there will be two LMS-Bath Mathematical Symposia and one of the LMS-Bath Symposia will be funded by the Isaac Newton Institute. Core funding at approximately £40,000.00 is available to support each Symposium, and it is planned to support up to two Symposia to take place in 2024.

Formerly known as the LMS-Durham Symposia, the LMS-Bath Mathematical Symposia are being held at the University of Bath between 2020 and 2025. The Symposia are an established and recognised series of international research meetings, since their foundation in 1974, that provide an excellent opportunity to explore an area of research in depth, to learn of new developments, and to instigate links between different branches.

The format is designed to allow substantial time for interaction and research. The meetings are by invitation only and will be held in July / August, with up to 50 participants, roughly half of whom will come from the UK. A novel element of the symposia is that they will be complemented by a summer school to prepare young researchers such as PhD students, or a “research incubator,” where problem(s) related to the topic of the conference is studied in groups. These entire event, summer school/incubator and workshop, will typically last around two weeks.

Prospective organisers should send a formal proposal to the Grants Team ([log in to unmask]) by 15 December 2022. Proposals are approved by the Society’s Research Grants Committee after consideration of referees’ reports.

Proposals should include:

· A full list of proposed participants, divided into specific categories:
Category A – Scientific Organisers

Category B – Key Overseas Participants
Category C – Key UK-based Participants
Category D – Important Overseas Participants
Category E – Important UK-based Participants

· Proposers are encouraged to actively seek to include women speakers and speakers from ethnic minorities or explain why this is not possible or appropriate.

· A detailed scientific case for the symposium, which shows the topic is active and gives reasons why UK mathematics would benefit from a symposium on the proposed dates.

· Details of additional support from other funding bodies, or proposed avenues of available funding.

· Indicative plans for the summer school or research incubator.

· Where appropriate, prospective organisers should consider the possibility of an ‘industry day.’

Before submitting: Organisers are welcome to discuss informally their ideas with the Chair of the Research Grants Committee, Professor Andrew Dancer ([log in to unmask]).
