WINTON FUNDING APPLICATION TEXT
Sent to Christopher Read [c.read@wintoncapital.com] 29/10/2010
Young Researchers in Mathematics (YRM) 2011 is a 3-day conference run by and aimed at doctoral and post-doctoral researchers within the broad area of Mathematics.
The conference aims to facilitate networking and collaboration between early career research mathematicians from different institutions, forming working relationships which will persist into the future. The event will take place at Warwick Mathematics Institute on 14-16 April 2011. In bringing the conference to the University of Warwick, the current committee aims to establish this unique event within the mathematics research community.
The conference incorporates nine parallel subject-specific tracks, each allowing students to showcase and discuss their research in relevant seminars. All students will be encouraged to present their work in a formal setting. Furthermore, senior mathematicians will give both plenary talks and, within each track, keynote talks. The conference will therefore encompass a wide range of research topics, but in specialised settings. Building upon the success of YRM 2010, we aim to attract approximately 200 young researchers from institutions across the UK and internationally. In line with Warwick's significant capacity in applied and applicable mathematics, we plan to devote 40% of the programme to these areas.
Our provisional plan for the conference is:
Thursday: introductions; tracks; dinner; plenary lecture; social event
Friday: tracks; lunch; tracks; plenary lecture; party
Saturday: tracks; lunch; cultural activity; farewells
Speakers who have already committed to giving a keynote talk are:
Prof. David Hand FBA (Imperial & Chief Scientific Advisor to Winton Capital Management), Prof. Nigel Hitchin (Oxford), Prof. Peter Cameron (Queen Mary, University of London), Prof. Burt Totaro FRS (Cambridge), Prof. Kevin Buzzard (Imperial), Sir John Ball FRS (Oxford), Prof. Mary Rees FRS (Liverpool), Prof. Saul Jacka (Warwick), Prof. Raymond Goldstein FInstP FIMA (Cambridge), Prof. Sandra Chapman FInstP (Warwick), Prof. Martin R. Bridson (Oxford), Prof. Jeff Johnson (Open) and Prof. Caroline Series (Warwick).
We have already begun actively promoting YRM2011. Our conference website (go.warwick.ac.uk/yrm2011) has recently gone live and registration has opened. Posters have been designed and distributed to all UK postgraduate mathematics departments along with a promotional email. We have made a mutual agreement with the organisers of the British Applied Mathematics Colloquium (BAMC) 2011 to promote each others meetings on our websites. A similar agreement with the British Mathematical Colloquium (BMC) 2011 is under negotiation.
It is particularly important for early career mathematicians to establish working relationships with those at other institutions. Feedback shows that one of the key successes of previous YRM conferences is the provision of an excellent opportunity for networking through small groups, social activities and a friendly atmosphere. We feel this is of especially great benefit to researchers in academically isolated situations. We are making on-going efforts to promote YRM to small Mathematics departments across the UK and have already received enthusiastic expressions of interest.
In 2011, for the first time in YRM’s short, vibrant history, the conference will be held away from Cambridge University. We consider this a crucial step in establishing YRM as an institution-independent conference. Changing locations annually will allow for wider participation in all aspects of the conference, including its organisation. Providing more young researchers with the opportunity to take an organisational role will resource the mathematical community.
Warwick Mathematics Institute fully supports the conference and is providing valuable organisational assistance and advice. This is a student-run project and we are therefore very conscious of our budget and will be actively seeking to make our money go further. We have drawn up a budget and are confident that the conference will cost up to £28,000, with £6,000 raised from conference fees and £5,500 from accommodation fees. We therefore aim to raise £16,500 from other sourses, of which £5,000 has already been secured from three sources. Several previous funding streams, specific to Cambridge University, are not available to us. A grant of £6,000 from Winton Capital would make a substantial contribution to our resources; in particular, support for participants’ expenses, networking events and conference packs. It would directly help us to keep registration fees down and thereby make the event as accessible as possible for research students.
We are very happy to offer you a manned stall (with opportunity to display promotional materials such as posters and banners) within the main foyer of the Mathematics department. Each delegate will receive a conference pack within which you may include promotional literature. We can also display your logo on our website and within the conference booklet. A career event for our delegates is currently being investigated and we would warmly invite you to participate in such an event.
Please see go.warwick.ac.uk/YRM2011 and youngresearchersinmaths.org for further information regarding the forthcoming and previous conferences.

Hi Martine,
Thanks for sending that through. We are pleased to agree to fund the conference £6,000 toward the costs you listed. Can you please draw up and send to me an invoice for the amount made out to the details below?

We don’t have a great deal of literature to include in the conference packs so are there other ways we can advertise our company through the conference outside of a stand and the careers event. If you are producing any stationary for the conference we could perhaps include our logo+details on it and the same for a conference bag. Could we have an advert in the conference programme listings?
Kind regards,
Christopher

Dear Christopher,
Many thanks for taking this forward for us.
Our treasurer, Steven Hill (cc’d) has produced the invoice you requested, attached. We hope this is all in order. If not, please feel free to email Steven with any amendments you would like.
We are happy to put your logo on our conference website, programme and bags as you suggest. We do not, at present, plan to produce conference stationary. If you would like to compose an advertisement for the conference programme we are happy to include it. The programme will be under production as soon as delegate booking closes on 31st January 2011.
Best wishes,
Martine
