Celebrating New Appointments - Scheme 9

This grant provides partial support for meetings held in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, to celebrate the new appointment of a lecturer at a UK university. The inaugural meeting must take place within two years of the start date of the new appointment and should consist of at least three talks, one of which must be given by the applicant. The purposes of the meeting are to celebrate the new appointment, to strengthen the research network in which the new lecturer naturally sits, and to provide an opportunity for research students and other mathematicians to spend a day focusing on the research area. There should be a social event in the department, with the LMS normally expecting departments to contribute to social events. The Society expects that meetings which it supports will be open to all, and will only support a closed meeting if an exceptional case is made. Only one grant per scheme, per person, per LMS financial year (1 August - 31 July) is allowed.
