Description
The Cecil King Travel Scholarships are administered by the London Mathematical Society (LMS) and funded by the Cecil King Memorial Foundation. They support early-career mathematicians undertaking a period of study or research abroad, typically lasting three months. One scholarship supports work in any area of mathematics, while the other supports mathematical research applied in a discipline other than mathematics.
The scholarships provide time overseas to pursue a proposed programme of work and benefit from the visit. Previous scholars describe opportunities to develop independent research, concentrate on projects previously pursued alongside their PhD, strengthen collaborative networks, disseminate research, and establish new ongoing international projects.
