The LMS Symposia brings together mathematicians and statisticians to explore current topics, foster collaboration, and develop new research directions. Each symposium typically features invited talks, intensive discussions, and opportunities for networking within specialised fields.
The LMS Symposia are held every summer and cover the full breadth of mathematics and statistics. The LMS Symposia has been a fixture of the international mathematical calendar for more than fifty years. From their inception in 1974 to 2020, they were held at Durham University. From 2021 to 2025, the symposia were held at The University of Bath. From 2026 - 2030 they will now be held at The University of Sheffield.
Funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and organised by Dr Haluk Sengun and Dr Mark Stevens, the symposia at Sheffield will be a series of 2-3 week-long workshops each summer for five years. Each year will also feature either summer schools or small-group, research-focused incubators.
We are delighted to welcome this distinguished programme to Sheffield and to demonstrate our University’s position at the forefront of research in the mathematical and statistical sciences.
Dr Haluk Sengun
Anyone in the mathematical sciences is invited to submit a workshop proposal with other members of their network for consideration by the LMS. For the 2027 cycle, expressions of interest are due by 15th December 2025, with full proposals due by 31st January 2026.

Proposals for 2028 - 2030 will follow a similar timeline and details will be announced in due course.
