Description
The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) Small Grant Scheme facilitates research activity across all areas of applicable mathematics. It offers flexible support through a simple application procedure, with awards intended to make a significant contribution to the proposed research. Supported activities include workshops, small conferences and symposia, travel for overseas visitors, collaborative research programmes, and education and training for students and young mathematicians and scientists.
The scheme also encourages joint research between mathematicians and industry, projects generating impact or knowledge transfer, interdisciplinary links with other sciences, and engagement with the wider community. It can support activities not open to funding from other sources. The scheme is competitive, with the IMA Research Group assessing scientific quality, training and wider benefits, the usefulness of the grant, and the activity’s contribution to the Institute’s vision for mathematics in the UK.
