The London Mathematical Society is pleased to announce its Call for Proposals for the LMS-Bath Mathematical Symposia to be held at the University of Bath in 2022.
Subject to confirmed funding, it is hoped that two LMS-Bath Mathematical Symposia can be supported in 2022.
Formerly known as the LMS-Durham Symposia, the LMS-Bath Mathematical Symposia will be held at the University of Bath between 2020 and 2025. The Symposia are an established and recognised series of international research meetings, since their foundation in 1974, that provide an excellent opportunity to explore an area of research in depth, to learn of new developments, and to instigate links between different branches.
听The format is designed to allow substantial time for interaction and research. The meetings are by invitation only and will be held in August, usually lasting for two weeks, with up to 50 participants, roughly half of whom will come from the UK. A novel element of the symposia is that they will be complemented by a summer school, to prepare young researchers such as PhD students, or a 鈥渞esearch incubator鈥, where problem(s) related to the topic of the conference is studied in groups. These events can take up to an additional week.
听Prospective organisers should send a formal proposal to the Grants Team (Grants@lms.ac.uk) by听15 December 2020.听Proposals are approved by the Society鈥檚 Research Grants Committee after consideration of referees鈥 reports.
听Proposals should include:
路听听听A full list of proposed participants, divided into specific categories:
Category A 鈥 Scientific Organisers
Category B 鈥 Key Overseas Participants
Category C 鈥 Key UK-based Participants
Category D 鈥 Important Overseas Participants
Category E 鈥 Important UK-based Participants
路听听听Proposers are encouraged to actively seek to include women speakers and speakers from ethnic minorities, or explain why this is not possible or appropriate.听
路听听听A detailed scientific case for the symposium, which shows the topic is active and gives reasons why UK mathematics would benefit from a symposium on the proposed dates.
路听听听Details of additional support from other funding bodies, or proposed avenues of available funding.
路听听听Indicative plans for the summer school or research incubator.
路听听听Where appropriate, prospective organisers should consider the possibility of an 鈥榠ndustry day鈥.

Before submitting:听 Organisers are welcome to discuss informally their ideas with the Chair of the Research Grants Committee, Professor Andrew Dancer (Grants@lms.ac.uk).
