LMS Research Schools with support from the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research (HIMR) and UKRI
LMS Research Schools support organisers of UK-based mathematics schools, funding specialist lectures, tutorials and collaboration to introduce research students to developing areas and nurture future leaders.
Funder: London Mathematical Society
Due Dates: March 1, 2027, 23:59 GMT (Proposals for 2028 schools)
Funding Amounts: Up to £15,000 per Research School
Summary: Supports organisers of UK-based schools providing specialist mathematical training for research students with leading international experts.
Key Information: Applications must be made by an organiser; non-LMS members need an LMS member’s countersignature.
Description
The London Mathematical Society (LMS) Research Schools provide training in all contemporary areas of mathematics. Held in the UK, they bring research students and postdoctoral researchers from the UK and abroad together with internationally leading mathematicians and other early career researchers. The programme aims to introduce qualified research students to important, developing research areas and help establish them as future leaders in their research communities.
Grants support organisers delivering intensive lectures, tutorials, and opportunities for collaboration. The 2028 call includes a school focused on Knowledge Exchange. Schools are often partially funded by the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research. Proposed topics should have mathematical significance, attract national and international demand, and align with the LMS mission.
