The award “AARMS Distinguished Lecturer” was created in 2000 to recognise excellence in mathematics and its exposition. The AARMS Distinguished Lecturer program provides financial support for visits to Atlantic Canada by preeminent mathematicians. AARMS Distinguished Lecturers visit a host AARMS institution for a week or more, offering lectures and seminars as well as offering at least two talks – either in two different AARMS Universities or in two different formats: one outreach talk aimed at the general public or students at undergraduate or high school level, and one more narrow research talk. Up to two Distinguished Lecturerships will be awarded per year.

Any faculty member at an AARMS member institution is invited to apply for funding up to $2500 to support a Distinguished Lecturer. A complete nomination should include:

• A brief explanation of the particular accomplishments of the nominee.

• Proposed locations of visit, and the proposed format of talks offered.

• A paragraph explaining the relevance of the visit to the host institution.

• A detailed budget of the visit showing all expected expenses and sources of funding.

Applications should be sent by email to the AARMS Administrator at any time throughout the year.
