Strategic Workshops

ICMS Strategic Workshops is a new initiative funded through the EPSRC grant that provides support for 3-5 day workshops for 20-50 people. These workshops help the mathematical sciences community engage in cross-disciplinary funding opportunities and policy-driven initiatives where timing is important. They can also provide rapid response to create communities in emerging areas, particularly where this involves working across disciplines. The workshops provide an environment for concentrated and focused exchange of ideas and the creation of new communities, with ICMS offering experience and facilities to help organizers deliver their vision. This is particularly important in the development of new directions and new areas of collaborative research. Examples include workshops with strong potential for industrial impact and knowledge exchange, interdisciplinary collaboration exploration, early career training and EDI initiatives, Research Council special themes, Isaac Newton Institute proposal scoping sessions, nimble workshops at short notice, international research links, perspectives in mathematics showcasing progress, societal impact and ODA workshops, and community building.
