Visiting Speakers to the UK - Scheme 2

The Visiting Speakers to the UK - Scheme 2 grant provides partial support for a visitor to the UK, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands, who will give lectures in at least three separate institutions. The grant is intended to facilitate international academic exchange by bringing distinguished mathematicians to the UK to deliver lectures across multiple venues. Applicants based in the UK are responsible for organizing the visit and making all arrangements. The scheme expects that provisional bookings for lectures should already be made by the time of application. The grant serves as a partial contribution to expenses, with host institutions expected to provide additional funding. The maximum award is £2,000 towards travel, accommodation, and subsistence costs, with an additional allowance of up to £200 for caring costs for applicants with dependents. Applications are reviewed three times per year, and grants must be used within two financial years of being awarded.
