Mini-Symposia

Call for mini-symposia is now open. Mini-symposia are used to showcase research strength within the BAMC community and bring speakers with complementary areas of expertise together. Please fill in this form if you wish to propose a mini-symposium for the BAMC 2025. We particularly encourage junior members of the community (including PhD students) to get involved in planning and proposing mini-symposia. The deadline for proposals is November 29th 2024, and accepted mini-symposia will be announced in December 2024.

Information for proposers

• By proposing a session you are committing to chairing the session and helping in its organisation.
• A mini-symposium session will run for 2 hours.
• A sessions can include up to 6 talks of duration 20 minutes each, including questions, or up to 4 talks with one of duration 40 mins.
• You will be responsible for inviting and securing speakers for your session.
• Chairs should be confident that they can fill their sessions, and when selecting speakers you are expected to ensure a good spread across institutions, gender, ethnicity and career stage. The LMS has some guidance on diversity at conferences available on their website.
• Mini-symposium themes may be broad (e.g. numerical analysis, differential equations) or specific (e.g. buoyancy driven flows in geophysics) and should be representative of current research strength in the UK Applied Mathematics community.
• Please note the BMC/BAMC does not have funds to support mini-symposium speakers, and chairs should make this clear when inviting people.
