Ems

The Edinburgh Mathematical Society (EMS), established in 1883, is the premier society for the mathematical sciences community in Scotland. Their mission is to advance and advocate for all facets of the mathematical sciences, including pure and applied mathematics, statistics, operational research, and data science, with a focus on Scotland. EMS draws members from Scottish universities, educational institutions, and mathematical scientists in various industries globally.

As a key player in the Council for Mathematical Sciences alongside prestigious organizations like the London Mathematical Society and the Royal Statistical Society, EMS is also a corporate member of the European Mathematical Society. The society organizes meetings, popular lectures, events, prizes, and provides various funding opportunities such as Maths Week Scotland and research support.
