Description
The Small Grant Scheme from the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) is designed to facilitate research activity across all areas of applicable mathematics. The scheme emphasizes flexibility and a simple application process, aiming to provide rapid support to IMA members engaged in impactful mathematical research. Funding can be used for workshops, small conferences, collaborative research, travel for overseas visitors, and promoting education and training for students and young mathematicians. The scheme also encourages joint research between mathematicians and industry, as well as activities that lack alternative funding sources. Projects that generate impact, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and engage the wider mathematical community are especially encouraged.
