Mathematics in Africa Scheme

The Mathematics in Africa Scheme provides partial financial support for mathematical activities taking place within Africa. Supported activities include attendance at or organisation of mathematical conferences or workshops, and mathematical research collaborations. Grants are awarded by the London Mathematical Society and are paid to a university or institution rather than to individuals.

Financial support up to £2,000 toward travel, accommodation, subsistence, visa costs and Caring Costs; split payment with final payment on receipt of satisfactory reports.

Grant applicants can be mathematicians based anywhere in the world but grants will only be awarded for activities taking place within Africa. PhD students are not eligible to apply.

Submit a completed Mathematics in Africa application form (PDF or Word) to the LMS Grants Administrator; queries may be addressed to the Grants Administrator or Chair of the Research Grants Committee. Grants require a satisfactory financial and academic report for final payment.
