International Centre for Mathematical Sciences

The International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS) is a mathematical research centre based in Edinburgh. According to its website, the Centre is "designed to bring together mathematicians and practitioners in science, industry and commerce for research workshops and other meetings."

The Centre was jointly established in 1990 by the University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University, under the supervision of Professor Elmer Rees, with initial support from Edinburgh District Council, the Scottish Development Agency and the International Centre for Theoretical Physics. In April 1994 the Centre moved to its present location at 14 India Street, Edinburgh, the birthplace of James Clerk Maxwell. The current scientific director (2006) is Professor John Toland.
