LMS Inclusion and Diversity Fund

The Inclusion and Diversity Fund, managed by the Committee for Women and Diversity in Mathematics (CWDM), aims to support events that promote equity, diversity, and inclusion in mathematics. The fund supports events focused on any aspect of diversity, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, trans identity, sexual orientation, sex, age, religion or religious belief, neurodiversity, socioeconomic status, disabilities, and background. The fund is supported by the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research. The fund supports various types of events such as: events which champion the work of people in the mathematical sciences from particular diversity groups and offer mentoring and networking opportunities; events which inspire and encourage young people from diverse backgrounds to continue with mathematics; and events focused on transforming systems and policies to enhance diversity in mathematics. Events may be aimed at any level, from school-age to postgraduate and upwards. Applicants may request any amount of funding up to a maximum of £1,000. Only one award can be made per applicant in a particular financial year (1 August to 31 July). Events and activities funded under this grant scheme must take place in the UK. Strong representation among speakers and panellists from the diversity group around which the event is focused is required.
