The International Centre for Mathematical Sciences in Edinburgh is one of the UK's most important resources in the mathematical sciences. The centre's primary role is to organise research workshops in mathematics and related areas of science and to involve users from other sciences and industry in these activities.In the 20 years since it was founded the centre has established a superb reputation for hosting well-organised meetings at the highest scientific level on the most important and innovative topics in the mathematical sciences. Proposed meetings are subjected to a rigorous reviewing process by referees of international standing and selected only if they are of very high quality. In any 2 or 3 year period, ICMS workshops cover an unusually broad and exciting range of topics.The centre monitors quality through participant questionnaires, workshop reports that are assessed by the programme committee and is introducing follow up questionnaires asking participants to list collaborations and other research outcomes generated by meetings.The centre has a dedicated knowledge transfer officer whose job is to identify potential users of new mathematical ideas from outside the academic community and to stage events (either in connection with research workshops or independently) to involve those users. Some 50 of the world's largest companies have sent representatives to ICMS meetings in the last 3 years, covering healthcare, the oil industry, the financial industry, defence, engine manufacture and computing.ICMS also runs a research-in-groups programme to enable small groups of researchers to work together for a short period of intensive collaboration. It provides a particularly cost effective way of promoting international collaborations by UK scientists.Research workshops play a particularly crucial role in the development of mathematics. Important research collaborations often begin at such meetings and early career researchers gain a significant part of their training at workshops and conferences. ICMS events have attracted many of the world's leading mathematicians to Britain and have involved many of the world leaders who work here. Younger prticipants, many of whom will later move into industry, also have a chance to make industrial contacts at these meetings.

爱丁堡国际数学科学中心是英国数学科学领域最重要的资源之一。该中心的主要作用是组织数学和相关科学领域的研究研讨会，并让其他科学和行业的用户参与这些活动。自成立以来的 20 年来，该中心因举办组织良好的会议而建立了良好的声誉。在数学科学中最重要和最具创新性的主题上处于最高科学水平。拟议的会议须经过具有国际地位的裁判员的严格审查过程，只有质量非常高的会议才会被选中。在任何 2 或 3 年期间，ICMS 研讨会都会涵盖异常广泛和令人兴奋的主题。该中心通过参与者调查问卷、由计划委员会评估的研讨会报告来监控质量，并引入后续调查问卷，要求参与者列出合作和其他内容会议产生的研究成果。该中心有一名专门的知识转移官员，其工作是从学术界之外识别新数学思想的潜在用户，并举办活动（与研究研讨会相关或独立）以吸引这些用户参与。过去 3 年，世界上大约 50 家最大的公司派代表参加了 ICMS 会议，涉及医疗保健、石油工业、金融工业、国防、发动机制造和计算领域。ICMS 还开展了一项小组研究计划，以帮助小型企业研究人员小组一起进行短期的密集合作。它为促进英国科学家的国际合作提供了一种特别具有成本效益的方式。研究研讨会在数学的发展中发挥着特别重要的作用。重要的研究合作通常是在此类会议上开始的，早期职业研究人员在研讨会和会议上获得了很大一部分培训。 ICMS 活动吸引了许多世界领先的数学家来到英国，并吸引了许多在这里工作的世界领导人。年轻的参与者（其中许多人后来进入工业界）也有机会在这些会议上建立行业联系。
