Entrance hall of the ICMSWelcome to the ICMS website

ICMS supports research in the mathematical sciences. Its core activity is 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.

In addition to workshops, ICMS is involved in a number of other mathematical activities such as small group research programmes, 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 Professor Keith Ball.

The headquarters of ICMS is at 15 South College Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9AA.

Call for Proposals

ICMS welcomes proposals for workshops and Research in Groups (RiGs) activities in all aspects of mathematical sciences and interdisciplinary areas with significant mathematical content. RiGs enables researchers to spend a short period in intensive research collaboration at ICMS, away from teaching and administration.

Deadlines

  • Workshop proposals: 31 March 2012
  • Research in Groups proposals: 30 April 2012

Full details on both programmes are in our Call for Proposals section.
