PhD Students

We strongly encourage PhD students to attend Orbit Meetings. These meetings are a great way to get know other people working in the field at nearby universities. To enable this, we will help towards travel costs for PhD students (see details here).

Funding

The Orbit Meetings are supported by a London Mathematical Society Scheme 3 Grant and by the Isaac Newton Institute and the Heilbronn Institute (Additional Funding Programme for Mathematical Sciences, delivered by EPSRC EP/V521917/1).
