Description
The London Mathematical Society’s Caring Supplementary Grants help parents and carers participate in mathematical research activities by contributing towards additional caring costs. Supported activities include conferences, research schools, meetings and research visits. The scheme funds the practical costs of participation rather than the research itself, helping mathematicians maintain research connections alongside caring responsibilities.
The programme is overseen by the Society’s Committee for Women and Diversity in Mathematics. The Society considers that institutions should provide for caring costs, but offers supplementary assistance while such provision is not widely available. Applicants should explore institutional, event-organiser and other support before applying. Priority is given to early-career applicants and those who have not already received caring-cost support from other sources.
