Wales Mathematics Colloquium, Gregynog Hall, Newtown, 18th-20th May 2026

This is a long-standing annual event with a broad mathematical outlook across areas of pure and applied mathematics, statistics and OR. It is aimed at bringing together mathematicians at Welsh HEIs, while also welcoming mathematicians from other parts of the UK.

It plays an important role in fostering mathematical discussion and collaboration between staff and postgraduates in Wales, both on research topics and on higher education policy, and offers a stimulating environment for postgraduate researchers to present their results with ample time for follow-up discussion.

The following speakers have agreed to give keynote lectures:

Professor Victoria Gould (York): algebraic semigroup theory

Dr Madalin Guta (Nottingham): quantum statistics and information geometry

Professor John Willis FRS (Cambridge): theoretical solid mechanics

Further talks will also be given by staff and students.

The organisers of the 2026 Colloquium are Gwion Evans and Rolf Gohm from Aberystwyth University.
