6th European Congress of Mathematics 2012

Guidance notes for Grant Application Form

  1. The London Mathematical Society has set aside funds to be used for making grants to support the attendance of UK-based mathematiciansat the 6th ECM in Krakow from 2-7 July 2012 (). The grants are not to support attendance at Satellite meetings.
  1. The Society would particularly like to supportthose mathematicians at an early stage in their career, including postdocs. PhD students whose research would benefit from attending the meeting may also apply but their applications should be strongly supported, with a clear mathematical case, by their supervisor.You do not need to be an LMS member to apply.
  1. The Grants are intended to contribute to the costs of attending the 6th ECM, not to meet them entirely.
  1. Part A of the form should be completed by the applicant; the form should then be passed to a Head of Dept or other senior person (or supervisor in the case of PhD students) for the completion of Part B and submission of the form to the LMS.
  1. Applications should be submitted by 16 March 2012and will be acknowledged by email. Applicants will be informed of the outcome by early April.
  1. Completed forms should be sent to:
    Elizabeth Fisher
