Welcome to the ICMS website
ICMS supports research in the mathematical sciences. Its core activity is currently the development and organisation of international workshops and conferences in all areas of mathematics and these attract leading mathematical scientists from the UK and overseas. The headquarters of ICMS is 14 India Street, the house in Edinburgh's New Town where James Clerk Maxwell was born and smaller workshops are held on the premises. (See information on accessibility.)
ICMS welcomes proposals for workshops in all aspects of mathematical sciences and interdisciplinary areas with significant mathematical content. Full details on in our Call for Proposals section. The next deadline for proposals, for workshops and for the new Research in Groups programme in 2009 and 2010, is 31 August 2008.
In addition to workshops, ICMS is involved in a number of other mathematical activities such as postgraduate training, journal management and outreach. Details of current and past projects are available in the Other Activities section. ICMS also hosts events organised by other mathematical and related organisations. The ICMS Full Calendar lists all workshops, other activities and hosted events.
The Scientific Director of ICMS is John Toland, FRS.
Collaborative projects
ICMS provides support for the following projects:
- Bridging the Gaps
- Scottish Mathematical Sciences Training Centre
- Generic Skills Courses for Mathematics Postgraduates
New research opportunity
Proposals are now invited for the new ICMS Research-In-Groups (RiGs) programme. RiGs will enable researchers to spend a short period in intensive research collaboration at ICMS, away from teaching and administration.
