Sydney Mathematical Research Institute Visitor Program

You can nominate an international speaker to visit SMRI for one week pre- or post-workshop. SMRI will provide the approved speaker with return international flights, domestic flights and up to one week's accommodation in Sydney during their visit to SMRI. Nominations of female and gender-diverse speakers, and of speakers belonging to historically underrepresented groups, are especially encouraged. If you wish to nominate any speakers, tick the box when you enter their details. SMRI will contact you post-application. Please discuss this opportunity with the speaker(s) and confirm their availability PRIOR to nomination.

Local keynotes can apply for the Domestic Visitor Program. Applications are open on a rolling basis and must be made 2–6 months before the start of the proposed visit.
