LMS Prizes 2025: call for nominations

Deadline: 12 January 2025, 23:59 (GMT)

Nominations are now open for the following prizes in 2025:

  • The Anne Bennett Prize: for work in and influence on mathematics, particularly acting as an inspiration for women mathematicians. The awardee should have fewer than 10 years’ full time involvement in mathematics.
  • The Berwick Prize: awarded to the author(s) of an outstanding piece of mathematical research published by the Society in the past 8 years. The awardee should have fewer than 15 years’ full-time involvement in mathematics.
  • The De Morgan Medal: the Society’s premier award, for which the only grounds are the candidate’s contributions to mathematics.
  • The Senior Whitehead Prize: for work in, influence on, or service to mathematics, or recognition of lecturing gifts in the field of mathematics.
  • The Naylor Prize and Lectureship in Applied Mathematics: for work in, influence on, and contributions to applied mathematics and/or the applications of mathematics, and lecturing gifts.
  • The Whitehead Prizes: for work in and influence on mathematics to mathematicians with fewer than 15 years’ experience at post-doctoral level (up to six may be awarded).

We strongly encourage nominations for women and other underrepresented groups in the mathematical community. The Prizes Committee interprets the criteria for all prizes broadly, so if in doubt please submit a nomination.

Note: prize nominations are considered for two rounds, so any nomination that was submitted in the last round and is still eligible will be considered.
