The Institute invites proposals for research programmes in any branch of mathematics
or the mathematical sciences.
The SSC usually meets twice each year to consider proposals for programmes (of 4-week, 4-month or 6-month duration)
to run two or three years later. Proposals to be considered at these meetings should be submitted by 31 January or 31 July respectively.
Successful proposals are usually developed in a process of discussion between the proposers and
the SSC conducted through the Director, and may well be considered at more than one meeting of the SSC before selection is recommended.
Proposers may submit a 'preliminary' proposal in the first instance with a view to obtaining feedback from the SSC prior to the
submission of a full 'definitive' proposal.
The scientific planning and organisation of each programme are the responsibility of a team of three or four Organisers
(aided in some cases by an Advisory Committee). The Organisers recommend participants in the programme, of whom up to thirty
can be accommodated at any one time; they also plan short-duration workshops and
conferences within the programme, to which many more participants may be invited. Each
programme is allocated a budget for salary support, subsistence allowances and travel expenses.
