What is the Hardy Lectureship award?
Named after former Society President and De Morgan Medallist, G. H. Hardy, the LMS Hardy Lectureship is awarded in odd-numbered years to a distinguished overseas mathematician; they are then invited to visit the UK for a period of about two weeks. This tour includes at least six lectures on varying topics at different venues in the UK. For more information, see their website here.
On 27th June, the 2025 LMS Hardy Lecturer, Professor Emily Riehl, will be visiting and delivering a lecture at Cardiff University.
