If you have been contacted by an organiser to speak at any of these mini-symposia, please submit an abstract using this form.

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.
