British Early Career Mathematicians' Colloquium

20th - 21st July 2023

Conference PhotoParticipants at BECMC 2023.

The British Early Career Mathematicians' Colloquium aims to consolidate the network among early career researchers and postgraduate students from across the country, particulary those studying branches of Mathematics prominent at our university - Algebra, Analysis, Combinatorics, Applied Mathematics, Optimisation and Statistics. This two-day event will be divided into two parallel sessions (Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics/Optimisation/Statistics), each with plenary speakers as well as contributed postgraduate talks. After last year's tremendous success, we are pleased to announce that the conference will again be having a session on the History of Mathematics as well as a brand new one on Mathematics Education.

The websites for previous BECMC meetings can be viewed here - (2015), (2016), (2018), (2019), (2020), (2021), (2022) .

Call for abstracts

Postgraduate students working in any field of Mathematics are encouraged to submit an abstract for a short talk (20 minutes + questions). This includes students from the UK as well as abroad. The submission deadline is the 9th of June.

Guidelines for abstract submission: Please send the title and abstract for your talk as either a TeX file or, if there are no formulas or mathematical symbols, in the body of your email. Please try to limit your abstract to 1000 characters or less. Literature references will not be included in the book of abstracts. Send submissions to becmc2023@contacts.bham.ac.uk. The deadline informing of accepted abstracts is the 23rd of June.

Accessibility

The committee recognises that the standard of access at academic conferences across the UK is largely unacceptable. Our team worked to improve this within our capabilities for the 2023 colloquium and will continue to do so for all future events. If you have any queries regarding accessibility or anything else, please do not hesitate to contact us.
