Description
The London Mathematical Society’s Scheme 8 provides partial support for conferences organised by and for postgraduate research students. Conferences must take place in the UK, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands, bring together students from several universities, and be open to all. The scheme supports mathematical meetings and the mathematical components of wider meetings, but excludes mathematics education.
Funding focuses on participants’ travel, accommodation and subsistence, with caring costs also eligible to help attendees with dependents participate. Administered through the Early Career Research Committee, the scheme places importance on speaker diversity and compliance with the Society’s Women in Mathematics policy. A failure to include invited women speakers is grounds for refusing funding.
