Friends & alumni program
Body
We want our friends and alumni to maintain a long-term relationship with each other and with our faculty. To this end we organise regular lectures and events. These lectures present concepts in an easy to understand manner appealing to broad scientific interests, and are a great opportunity to meet some of our MSI academics in an informal environment over drinks and nibbles.
Attendance at these special lectures is by invitation only, so please register to receive your invitation to future events.
We’d like to thank our donors who have helped to fund student prizes, scholarships and awards, travel and research grants, research fellowships and postdoctoral employment opportunities..
Philanthropy plays an important role by providing opportunities to grow and enhance the work we do in ways that would otherwise not be possible. Now more than ever, we need your support to ensure the future of mathematics, and the futures of our students and researchers to remain strong and sustainable.
If you would like to contribute to our work and our future, please donate here:
