Anne Penfold Street Awards
The AustMS WIMSIG Anne Penfold Street Awards provide additional financial support to Australian mathematicians for their caring responsibilities, while they travel for conferences or research visits to collaborators, with approximately four Awards awarded annually. The potential uses of these Awards include, but are not limited to, short-term childcare or professional carers for elderly relatives. These Awards are open to individuals studying/working/living in Australia, regardless of gender, or members of organizing committees for mathematics/statistics conferences to be held in Australia. The Awards are funded by the Australian Mathematical Society (AustMS) and are an initiative of the AustMS Women in Mathematics Special Interest Group (WIMSIG), which administers them. Awards are determined on a competitive basis by a selection committee of distinguished mathematicians, appointed by the Executive Committee of WIMSIG.
Applications for AustMS 2018 must be submitted by the 1st of October 2018 if assessment prior to the conference is required. Applications may also be submitted for assessment in the round immediately following the conference, which closes on the 1st of April 2019. Further details on applying are available on the Anne Penfold Street Awards website.
Cheryl E. Praeger Travel Awards
The AustMS WIMSIG Cheryl E. Praeger Travel Awards are designed to provide full or partial support for Australian female mathematicians to attend conferences or to visit collaborators, with approximately eight domestic Travel Awards and four international Travel Awards awarded annually. The Awards are funded by the Australian Mathematical Society (AustMS) and are an initiative of the AustMS Women in Mathematics Special Interest Group (WIMSIG), which administers them.
Applications for AustMS 2018 must be submitted by the 1st of October 2018 if assessment prior to the conference is required.
