North British Semigroups and Applications Network

LMS

NBSAN is a network of researchers in Scotland and Northern England with interests in semigroup theory and its applications. It is funded chiefly by a grant from the London Mathematical Society, with additional contributions from host departments and occasionally from other sources. It holds two meetings per year in different locations around the region, plus occasional online activities. The main participant universities are East Anglia, Manchester, St Andrews and York, but our activities are open to all interested researchers. Attendance at all meetings is free. We especially welcome graduate students.

For enquiries about individual meetings, please contact the relevant local organiser as described below. To enquire about the network please contact the central coordinator Nóra Szakács. To join the mailing list please contact Mark Kambites.

Next Meeting

The next meeting will be held in Manchester on Friday 11th April 2025, organised by Josiah Aakre, Thomas Aird and Daniel Heath.

The provisional programme is as follows: The meeting will take place in room Frank Adams Room 1 in the Alan Turing Building, which is on the main Oxford Road Campus of the University of Manchester, about 20 minutes walk from Manchester Piccadilly railway station. Registration is available from 12:30, with the first talk at 13:00, and the meeting ending at around 17:00. There will be an informal (unsubsidised) dinner afterwards; if you would like to attend the dinner please email Thomas Aird.

The meeting is in association with the conference Introduction to Modern Advances in Algebra (ITMAIA) 2025, which takes place from the 9th and the 11th and will also have some semigroup content. The ITMAIA conference is specifically aimed at PhD students, but the NBSAN meeting is for all.

Please contact Daniel Heath with any questions.

The second meeting of the 2024-25 academic year will be held in St Andrews on Thursday 12th and Friday 13th June 2025. Please contact Jung Won Cho with any queries.
