The 20th IMU General Assembly has selected the UK-Ireland bid for Glasgow as the host of the International Congress of Mathematicians 2030. This is a wonderful achievement for the British and Irish mathematical communities, and the EMS is proud to represent the Scottish component of the bid. We now look forward to welcoming mathematicians from all over the world to Glasgow in 2030!
The Presidents of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society and the London Mathematical Society have drafted an open letter to the University of Dundee in response to its plans to end undergraduate mathematics provision at the institution. Read and sign the letter.
The EMS welcomes the timely and important Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics, a community effort to address the role of AI in mathematical research and to agree on recommendations for regulating its use. The full declaration can be read at: https://leidendeclaration.ai/
Congratulations to Professor Mark Chaplain FRSE FRS, President of the London Mathematical Society and member of the EMS Policy Advisory Group, on his election as a Fellow of the Royal Society. This is a rare and distinguished honour, and a notable recognition of his contributions to mathematical oncology and the wider mathematical sciences community.
