ICMS supports research in the mathematical sciences. Its core activity is currently the development and organisation of international workshops and conferences in all areas of mathematics and these attract leading mathematical scientists from the UK and overseas. The headquarters of ICMS is 14 India Street, the house in Edinburgh's New Town where James Clerk Maxwell was born and smaller workshops are held on the premises. (See information on accessibility.)

ICMS welcomes proposals for workshops and Research in Groups activities in all aspects of mathematical sciences and interdisciplinary areas with significant mathematical content. Full details on in our Call for Proposals section. The next deadline for proposals, for workshops and for the Research in Groups programme in 2010, is 31 March 2009.

In addition to workshops, ICMS is involved in a number of other mathematical activities such as postgraduate training, journal management and outreach. Details of current and past projects are available in the Other Activities section. ICMS also hosts events organised by other mathematical and related organisations. The ICMS Full Calendar lists all workshops, other activities and hosted events.

The Scientific Director of ICMS is John Toland, FRS.
