IMA Annual Report
2016 was another good year for the IMA.
We ran the Department for Education Mathematics Initial Teacher Training Scholarships scheme for a fourth successful year recommending 112 outstanding applicants for scholarship funds, and were awarded a grant to repeat the process for a fifth year.
Our e-Student undergraduate programme continues to mature. We now have more e-Students than we have traditional members. At December 2016 there were 7,440 e-Students.
Our conference team ran 11 events welcoming 732 delegates.
Our fifth Employers’ Forum was hosted by Dstl, with a bonus visit to their Military Vehicles and Equipment Exhibition.
We continued to develop our Mathematics Matters case studies that have been so successful.
We played a leading role with the CMS in the inclusion of mathematics within SET for Britain at Parliament. Our researchers and posters were so strong that we have been invited back for 2017 when it will be STEM for Britain!
The IMA ran the biggest maths stand in the biggest Big Bang ever. 65,000+ students and parents in four days!
The IMA MathsCareers website attracted over 400,000 visits during the year (a huge increase) and it has over 5,194 followers on Twitter. We also issued three more editions of our e-16+ newsletter.
And on top of this we ran our regular activities covering branches, education, grants, journals, mathematics consultations, and Mathematics Today.
We hope that you enjoy reading the comprehensive details in the rest of this Annual Report to Members 2016 (pdf).
