Consolidated Support for EPSRC-LMS Durham Symposia

LMS Durham研讨会有着悠久而辉煌的历史，是最重要的定期国际数学活动之一，反映并启动了现代数学前沿的发展。这些为期10天的会议自1974年以来一直举行，其最高的国际声誉和威望广为人知。他们被广泛地与英国数学的卓越联系在一起。达勒姆专题讨论会的项目活动完全由伦敦数学学会控制，只在夏季举行，这与全世界数学家的学术日记非常吻合。这项建议寻求支持将专题讨论会方案再延长四年。研讨会在非正式的气氛中汇集了英国和国际顶尖的研究人员，目的是寻找共同点并讨论令人兴奋的最新发展。这一点，以及几乎所有参与者都住在同一宿舍的事实，为思想交流和研究专业知识的交叉施肥提供了机会。我们相信，如果这一建议取得成果，将继续实现令人兴奋的新的国际合作。会议的结果最初通过一个积极管理和易于访问的网站（http://www.maths.dur.ac.uk/events/Meetings/LMS/）分发，该网站包含所有88届达勒姆专题讨论会的列表。点击任何研讨会的链接都可以获得很多信息，包括参与者名单和其他相关信息。每次研讨会的主要演讲都用摄像机录下来（征得发言者的同意），并在会议结束后几天内放在网站上。课堂讲稿和/或幻灯片也在网站上，所有这些材料都是免费提供的。会议的更详细记录是通过在研究期刊上发表受会议主题启发的前沿文章来提供的。专题讨论会的成果将极大地推动本已充满活力的研究领域。英国和国际研讨会的参与者是直接的受益者，但在达勒姆研讨会网站上及时出现的视频和课堂笔记也通知了许多在该领域工作的其他数学科学家的研究。这反过来又大大增加了我们对所研究的各种研究课题的理解。

The LMS Durham Symposia have long and glorious history and are among the most important regular international mathematical events, reflecting and initiating developments in cutting edge modern mathematics. These 10-day meetings have run since 1974, and their highest international reputation and prestige are widely known. They are widely associated with the excellence of British mathematics. The programme activity of the Durham Symposia is fully controlled by the London Mathematical Society, and takes place only during the summer period which fits well into the academic diary of mathematicians worldwide. This proposal seeks support for a continuation of the programme of Symposia for a further four years. The Symposia bring together the top UK and international researchers in an informal atmosphere, with the aim of finding common ground and discussing exciting recent developments. This, and the fact that virtually all the participants reside in the same accommodation block, gives the opportunity for the exchange of ideas and cross-fertilization of research expertise. We are confident that exciting new international collaborations will be continue to be realised if this proposal comes to fruition. The results of the meetings are distributed initially via an actively-managed and easily accessible website (http://www.maths.dur.ac.uk/events/Meetings/LMS/), which contains a list of all 88 previous Durham Symposia. Following the link for any symposium leads to much information, including a list of participants, and other relevant information. The main talks of each symposium are recorded (with permission of the speakers) with a camcorder, and are placed on the website within a few days of the finish of the meeting. Lecture notes and/or slides are also on the site, and all this material is made freely available to all. A more detailed record of the meeting is provided by the publication in research journals of cutting-edge articles inspired by the subjects covered in the meeting. The outcomes from the Symposia impart a large impetus to already dynamic research areas. The UK and international symposium participants are the immediate beneficiaries, but the timely appearance of videos and lecture notes on the Durham Symposium website also informs the research of many other mathematical scientists working in the area. This in turn adds considerably to our understanding of the various research topics studied.
