School of MathematicsSchool of MathematicsICMS winter school: PDE in geometry and analysisDescriptionThree mini-courses, given by Lucas Ambrozio, Alessandro Pigati, and Melanie Rupflin, targeted towards PhD students and post-docs.
Retreat for Women in Applied Mathematics 2026DescriptionThe Retreat for Women in Applied Mathematics 2026 (RWAM 2026) is a five-day retreat for female applied mathematicians (or people who identify as female) from all career stages (PhD, postdoc, junior or senior faculty), generally working in the field of mathematical modelling across the physical sciences, biology and engineering. Building on the successes of RWAM 2023, 2024 and 2025, RWAM 2026 will be a distinctive event touching different aspects of careers in mathematics.
Women in Mathematical Physics 3DescriptionMathematical physics is an interdisciplinary topic at the crossroads of pure mathematics and theoretical physics. Theoretical physics has been a constant source of inspiration for mathematics over the last decades, pointing to underlying connections between mathematical entities that otherwise would have taken much longer to uncover and guiding many astounding recent developments in diverse topics. Studying properties and applying new mathematical structures is essential to understanding the nature of string theory and quantum gravity. Quoting EPSRC, “The overall quality of research in mathematical physics is very high, and the cross-fertilization between mathematics and physics has been hugely beneficial to both subjects.” In this workshop, we will have talks and discussions where mathematical rigor and physical intuition merge naturally. The workshop’s primary focus will be on 9 research teams, their chosen areas of study and projects, and interactions between these research teams and other participants. The main goals of our workshop are twofold: Research: make progress on open problems of high interest in diverse areas of mathematical physics. Networking: bring senior and junior female mathematical physicists together to attack research projects on topics of common interest, thereby expanding the mentorship networks of women in the field.
Groups, representations, cohomology: Celebrating the mathematical contributions of Dave BensonDescriptionThe workshop will cover recent progress in the following broadly defined but closely intertwined topics.
Cohomology and modular representation theory of finite groups Hochschild cohomology Algebraic topology Tensor-triangular geometry Finite tensor categories This workshop centers on the representation theory of finite groups and closely related structures. Some areas of the field are well-established and classical, while others include subjects born only recently. All are being rapidly evolving and actively explored by diverse research communities. These communities, often located in different regions around the world, offer distinct perspectives and approaches to the subject. A central aim of the workshop is to bring together experts and early-career researchers from these various groups, providing a forum to share progress, exchange ideas, and ask each other questions. The workshop also offers an opportunity to celebrate Dave Benson’s 70th birthday, which falls in December 2025. Dave’s work has had a profound influence on many of the themes represented at this meeting, and we look forward to honoring his contributions during the event.

String Math 2026DescriptionThe String Math conference has been running annually since 2011, bringing together mathematicians and physicists who work at the interface between string theory, quantum field theory, and mathematics.
Approximately BayesDescriptionOver the past decade, there has been an explosion of interest in the development and application of Approximate Bayesian Inference (ABI) methods across the statistical and machine learning (ML) communities. The rapid pace of progress in ABI has made it increasingly difficult to track development in the field, often leading to unnecessary duplication of methods and results. Without a concerted effort, statistical and ML researchers working on ABI risk drifting apart, to the detriment of both communities. https://icms.ac.uk/activities/workshop/approximatelybayes/
