Description
The London Mathematical Society’s Emmy Noether Fellowships support research in the mathematical sciences, broadly construed. Funded through a donation from Liber Stiftung (Liber Foundation), the scheme helps researchers re-establish their research programmes after a major caring-related break or maintain their work while managing significant ongoing caring responsibilities.
Caring includes looking after young children or supporting someone who cannot cope without help because of illness, frailty, disability, a mental health problem or addiction. The fellowships recognise the demands of caring while helping researchers sustain their research careers. Previous recipients describe using the support for focused work with collaborators, protected research time, new collaborations and renewed engagement with the wider research community after parental or maternity leave.
