Next Meeting
University of Cambridge - 7th May 2026
The next meeting of the COW is planned for Thursday 7th May at the University of Cambridge. The meeting will start at 1pm and finish at 5pm. More details will appear here as they are confirmed.
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.
