Terms of Reference

The EMS Committee for European Solidarity will undertake actions to foster the development of mathematics in economically less-favoured regions within the geographical area of EMS membership and through the following means:

  • Awarding travel grants to early career qualified mathematicians.
  • Promoting and funding training activities, such as advanced courses or workshops at an early career level.
  • Supporting bilateral and multilateral regional conferences.
  • Raising new scientific initiatives.
  • Offering advice and assistance about the launching of development projects.
  • Easing access to research resources, including digital libraries.

Travel grant applications

The EMS Committee for European Solidarity awards travel grants to early career mathematicians. These are for presenting results at conferences, or attending courses, or for research stays in foreign countries. The limit is normally 900 euros (for trips outside of Europe) or 500 euros (for trips within Europe). These grants are primarily for Europe-based mathematicians.

The deadlines for applications are January 31 and September 30 and the decision will be communicated during March and November.

Please submit your application online</br> Important notice: As EMS is preparing a new electronic system for managing applications, please wait until the end of 2023 to submit them.

Applications for funding to organize training events and conferences

Funding is offered for the organisation of training events and conferences, normally up to a maximum of 3000 euros for each activity and devoted to early-career participant grants.

The deadlines for applications are January 31 and September 30 and the decision will be communicated during March and November.
