3rd IMA Conference on Mathematics of Robotics
24 Sep 2025 - 26 Sep 2025 • Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, Manchester, United Kingdom
Organizer:
This Conference has been organised in cooperation with the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).
Abstract:
The 3rd IMA Conference on the Mathematics of Robotics aims to bring together researchers working on all areas of robotics which have a significant Mathematical content. The idea is to highlight the Mathematical depth and sophistication of techniques applicable to Robotics and to foster cooperation between researchers working in different areas of Robotics.
Topics:
Topology. Kinematics. Algebraic topology of configuration spaces of robot mechanisms. Topological aspects of path planning and sensor networks. Differential topology and singularity theory of robot mechanism and moduli spaces.

Knowledge Exchange event on rewilding
20 Oct 2025 - 23 Oct 2025 • ICMS, Bayes Centre, Edinburgh , United Kingdom
Organizer:
The International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS)
Abstract:
Achieving sustainable human-wildlife coexistence in well-functioning ecosystems is a vitally important and major challenge under global change. In this context, Rewilding, an emerging paradigm in ecosystem restoration, is viewed by a growing number of scientists as central to the restoration agenda. Rewilding differs from more established conservation approaches as it de-emphasizes efforts towards preserving or bringing back certain focal species or habitats, in favour of prioritising the connectivity and health of the ecosystem as a whole. More precisely, the emphasis is on restoration of ecosystem services (such as pollination, water purification, carbon storage, etc) and their underpinning ecosystem functions. Other defining features of rewilding are the requirement of minimal ongoing management and viewing ecosystems as social-ecological systems. The latter point provides space for different scales of rewilding, from the most purist at one end of the spectrum, to small-scale urban rewilding at the other. While mathematics has played a key role in ecology for well over a century, its use in rewilding remains limited. This is in part due to the fact that the rewilding approach is still in the early phases of developing a rigorous scientific foundation. The purpose of this KE event is to bring together academic and non-academic scientists in mathematics and ecology, in order to tackle some of the practical problems related to rewilding. The ICMS has previously funded a term long programme, Rewilding mathematics. The perspectives paper Mathematical Perspectives on Rewilding is the outcome of that programme and the theoretical premise of this KE event.

Workshop — Collective movement and pattern formation: Biology, modelling and analysis
27 Jul 2026 - 30 Jul 2026 • ICMS, Bayes Centre, Edinburgh , United Kingdom
Organizer:
The International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS)
Abstract:
Collective cell migration and pattern formation are entwined phenomena of immense fascination. Development, tissue repair and disease progression all involve coordination between cell movements, growth, and intercellular signalling processes. A better understanding of their interplay across different spatial and temporal scales will help improve diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The aim of this workshop is to draw together state of the art techniques within (i) the biological mechanisms that underpin processes of collective cell migration and pattern formation, (ii) the mathematical and computational models used to study these phenomena, and (iii) the analytical tools that can be used to unlock core properties contained within these models.
