Applications are now invited for two LMS Cecil King Travel Scholarships in 2023. The scholarship is designed to support study or research abroad for early career mathematicians, typically for a period of three months. £6,000 is awarded for each scholarship, one to a mathematician in any area of mathematics and the second to a mathematician whose research is applied in a discipline other than mathematics.

A level results were released today as students across England, Wales and Northern Ireland received grades for the first formal exams since 2019. Scottish Higher results were released on 9 August.

The LMS extends its congratulations to all students receiving their results, particularly in light of the ongoing difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on both students and teachers.

Letters by LMS President Ulrike Tillmann reiterating the importance of investment in mathematics have been published in The Times and Guardian.

The letters followed the publication of a House of Lords Science and Technology report on the government’s global ambitions for science and technology, which include making the UK a 'science and technology superpower'. 

Application deadline: Friday 7 October 2022

The LMS Emmy Noether Fellowship Grants are intended for mathematicians who are either re-establishing their research programme after returning from a major break associated with caring responsibilities, or who require support for their research programme while dealing with significant ongoing caring responsibilities.
