Young Researchers in Mathematics
Young Researchers in Mathematics was launched as the "Beyond Part III" postgraduate conference held at the University of Cambridge on 16-18 April 2009. It was also known as Young Researchers in Mathematics 2009 or YRM 2009. Over two hundred young mathematicians and physicists came from as far afield as New Zealand and the USA to take part in a three day conference at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, which also tied in with the 800th anniversary of the founding of the University. The Young Researchers in Mathematics 2010 conference was also run at the University of Cambridge and from then on the conference has become an annual event run at different UK universities.
YRM places emphasis on the involvement of young researchers across a wide range of mathematical disciplines. Aside from plenary talks and one talk per track from invited speakers, all the presentations are made by the young researchers themselves. There are also several social events at each conference aimed at having researchers from across the UK and from other countries getting to know each other.
