IMS September Meeting 2020
Irish Mathematical Society
The 33rd annual meeting of the Irish Mathematical Society will be hosted online by Dublin City University, taking place on Wednesday 13th - Friday 15th January 2021.
The meeting will consist of a mixture of 30 min and 50 min talks on a wide variety of mathematical topics. There will be three sessions of four talks each, taking place on the afternoons of Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th January, and on the morning of Friday 15th January. A number of the talks are linked by the theme of epidemiological and environmental modelling.
In the absence of an opportunity to hold a poster session to highlight the work of research students, this year’s meeting will feature a competition for PhD and research MSc students. We invite students to submit a short video-recorded presentation on their research. See below for details. We would like to ask colleagues to encourage their own students, and students in their department, to submit an entry to the competition. The recordings will be made available to all conference participants.
For any queries, please email the organisers at maths@dcu.ie. We look forward to meeting you online in January.

The Irish Mathematical Society is seeking new members. If you work/study in mathematics/applied mathematics/mathematics education or any cognate discipline as a staff member/student/Phd student/Post doctoral researcher and are not already a member, then the Irish Mathematical Society eagerly encourages you to apply for membership.
The Irish Mathematical Society was founded in 1976, runs an annual conference and publishes a twice yearly Bulletin. For more information on the society, past conferences and the Bulletin please see http://irishmathsoc.org/.
Membership is easy to apply for - just mail our Treasurer, Dr Cónall Kelly, at conall.kelly@ucc.ie. Membership is €30 for ordinary membership, €15 for student membership, see http://irishmathsoc.org/index.php?file=apply.
Next approval of new membership applications will take place at our upcoming committee meeting in December, so apply soon to make that deadline.
The Irish Mathematical Society looks forward to hearing from you.
