  community and academics.
• Research-in-Groups Programme - a programme enabling small groups to undertake intensive collaboration lasting between two weeks and three months.
• Generic Skills Course for Mathematics Postgraduates - organised jointly with the Edinburgh Mathematical Society.
• ICMS provides adminstrative support for the Scottish Mathematical Sciences Training Centre
• ICMS manages mathematical research journals on behalf of Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Edinburgh Mathematical Society. For more information on these journals see:
  Royal Society of Edinburgh Proceedings A Mathematics
  Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society
• ICMS administers Scottish Support for AIMS: The James Clerk Maxwell Fund enabling Scottish-based mathematicians to undertake teaching or other supportive activities at one of the AIMS centres.
• Mathematics of Planet Earth 2013 - ICMS is a partner institute in this intitative and is planning a number of workshops and public event over the course of the year.
• Events for the public - ranging from public lectures to walking tours, art exhibitions and open days.

Past projects

• ICMS provided adminstrative support and a venue for Bridging the Gaps Between Engineering and Mathematics in the Edinburgh Research Partnership
• Film³ - a season of maths related film and discussion evenings, part of Edinburgh International Science Festival.
• ICMS managed the Environmental Mathematics and Statistics Workshops on behalf of NERC and EPSRC. These workshops fostered collaborations between the mathematical/statistical and life/environmental science communities.
