The International Centre for Mathematical Sciences in Edinburgh is one of the UK's most important resources in the mathematical sciences. The centre's primary role is to organise research workshops in mathematics and related areas of science and to involve users from other sciences and industry in these activities.In the 20 years since it was founded the centre has established a superb reputation for hosting well-organised meetings at the highest scientific level on the most important and innovative topics in the mathematical sciences. Proposed meetings are subjected to a rigorous reviewing process by referees of international standing and selected only if they are of very high quality. In any 2 or 3 year period, ICMS workshops cover an unusually broad and exciting range of topics.The centre monitors quality through participant questionnaires, workshop reports that are assessed by the programme committee and is introducing follow up questionnaires asking participants to list collaborations and other research outcomes generated by meetings.The centre has a dedicated knowledge transfer officer whose job is to identify potential users of new mathematical ideas from outside the academic community and to stage events (either in connection with research workshops or independently) to involve those users. Some 50 of the world's largest companies have sent representatives to ICMS meetings in the last 3 years, covering healthcare, the oil industry, the financial industry, defence, engine manufacture and computing.ICMS also runs a research-in-groups programme to enable small groups of researchers to work together for a short period of intensive collaboration. It provides a particularly cost effective way of promoting international collaborations by UK scientists.Research workshops play a particularly crucial role in the development of mathematics. Important research collaborations often begin at such meetings and early career researchers gain a significant part of their training at workshops and conferences. ICMS events have attracted many of the world's leading mathematicians to Britain and have involved many of the world leaders who work here. Younger prticipants, many of whom will later move into industry, also have a chance to make industrial contacts at these meetings.

位于爱丁堡的国际数学科学中心是英国最重要的数学科学资源之一。该中心的主要任务是组织数学和相关科学领域的研究工作坊，并让其他科学和行业的用户参与这些活动。自成立20年来，该中心因在最高科学水平举办组织严密的会议，讨论数学科学中最重要和最具创新性的课题而享有盛誉。拟议的会议由具有国际地位的裁判进行严格审查，只有在质量非常高的情况下才会被挑选出来。在任何2到3年的时间里，ICMS研讨会涵盖的主题都非常广泛和令人兴奋。该中心通过参与者问卷、由方案委员会评估的研讨会报告来监测质量，并正在推出后续问卷，要求参与者列出会议产生的合作和其他研究成果。该中心有一名专门的知识传授干事，其工作是从学术界以外寻找新的数学思想的潜在用户，并举办活动(与研究研讨会有关或独立举行)，让这些用户参与。在过去三年中，全球最大的50家公司派出代表参加了ICMS会议，涉及医疗保健、石油行业、金融行业、国防、发动机制造和计算机。ICMS还开展小组研究计划，使小组研究人员能够在短时间内进行密集合作。它提供了一种特别经济高效的方式来促进英国科学家的国际合作。研究研讨会在数学的发展中发挥着特别关键的作用。重要的研究合作往往在这样的会议上开始，早期职业研究人员在讲习班和会议上获得了培训的很大一部分。ICMS的活动吸引了许多世界顶尖的数学家来到英国，并吸引了许多在这里工作的世界领导人。年轻的学员也有机会在这些会议上建立行业联系，其中许多人稍后将进入行业。
