Funding and Travel Claims

The COW has some funding to cover travel expenses for UK-based PhD students and postdocs. The COW is currently funded by the Isaac Newton Institute and the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research under the UKRI/EPSRC Additional Funding Programme for Mathematical Sciences (EPSRC EP/V521917/1) and by the London Mathematical Society under a scheme 3 grant.

To ensure that we can fund as many participants as possible, we ask that participants purchase "advance" or "off-peak" train tickets where practical, and non-travel expenses (e.g. accommodation, food) cannot be covered. For those under the age of 30, we also recommend looking into getting a railcard, which can offer substantial savings on the cost of train travel around the UK. Information about how to submit a claim is available on the COW homepage here.
