Description
The London Mathematical Society (LMS) provides partial travel and accommodation support for early-career mathematicians attending conferences or undertaking research visits in the UK or overseas. The scheme supports trips that benefit the applicant’s mathematical research, rather than providing a general travel allowance. Each award is tied to the specific conference or research visit described in the application.
The Society’s Early Career Research Committee assesses applications, prioritising research visits combined with conference attendance. Long-distance trips of short duration are less likely to receive funding, and applicants with multiple recent travel or conference opportunities receive lower priority. UK-based mathematicians invited to the Heidelberg Laureate Forum should also apply for travel support through this scheme.
