Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics Trustees, Annual Report.. 2 March 2024- 1 March 2025 Charity registration number= 211632 Address= University of Nottingham. University Park, Nottingham NG7 2RD Trustees: Professor J R King Professor C M Linton Professor A N Norris Professor S L Waters Structure, Governance and Management The Trust is governed according to the Trust Deed dated 31st October 1956 as amended by the Deed dated 19th January 2015. The Journal is overseen by the Trustees in consultation with its Executive Editors. Trustees are selected from the Mechanics and Applied Mathematics community by the existing Trustees on the basis of their capacity to facilitate the Trust's objectives. Objectives and Activities The Trust seeks to promote and facilitate scientific research and education in Mechanics and Applied Mathematics. The Trustees have secured a profit share from the Journal's publishers. Oxford University Press (OUPI, in order to provide grants to support activities in keeping with these objectives and thereby to promote the Journal. Financial Review The only item of income during the year was= £73,606 {Profil-share from OUP) There were no ilems of expenditure.. the usual IMA administration fee for QJMAM Fund was paid during the year but the cheque was not paid in and cleared until after 1 March Iso that two such fees will show up next yearl. The Trust held £455,187 in cash funds on 2 March 2024 and £528,793 on 1 March 2025. The Trust has no liabilities and no other assets. Because the initial payments from Oxford Universiiy Press included profit share from earlier years. the Trustees maintain a reserve in order to sustain the level of grants as payments decrease, as well as for contingencies. Achievements and Performance The QJMAM Fund for Applied Mathematics exists lo support UK research in the broad area of applied mathematics and theoretical mechanics. The Fund makes a grant to the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA, a charity with aims compatible with those of the Trust), who then distribute grants to successful applicants, a payment being made to the IMA for the efficient administration of this process. Applications for grants from the Fund were assessed by a panel comprising senior academics from the Universities of Brunel, Cambridge, Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham and Oxford, ably chaired by one from Rutgers Universily.. Chair.. Panel members.. Professor Andrew Norris (Trusteel Professor Anne Juel Professor John King {Trusteel Professor Stephen Langdon Professor Natasha Movchan Professor Nigel Peake Professor Sarah Waters {Trustee} Over Ihe year, there were two widely publicised open funding calls. As indicated above, the funds awarded were subsequenlly distributed by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, to whom awardees were required to report back on their use. Demands on Ihe fund remain high, indicating that its value is becoming more widely recognised.
Grant awards (listed below) covered a range of activities. Awardees spanned a range of career stages (with early career researchers being particularly well represented) and with support for some important UK meelings being noleworthy. We believe awards lo have been of considerable benefit given the dearth of other suitable funding mechanisms.
