Transforming Australian research in the mathematical sciences.
The Sydney Mathematical Research Institute brings leading mathematicians together to pursue groundbreaking research and collaboration in a vibrant, creative environment. As Australia’s premier centre for mathematical sciences, SMRI supports international and domestic visitors, fosters knowledge exchange, and advances innovative research across diverse mathematical fields.
“Sydney Mathematical Research Institute is the first institute of its kind in Australia, brought about by generous philanthropic funding and the support of the University of Sydney. We provide a hub for visiting researchers in the mathematical sciences, where they have the opportunity to collaborate with Sydney’s world-leading researchers, and to travel to other Australian universities and conferences. We also run events and public outreach programs connected to mathematical research. We act in concert with other institutes such as AMSI and MATRIX to bring about the greatest benefit for mathematics nationally.” – Professor Stephan Tillmann, Executive Director
“In my experience, progress in mathematics is the result of two ingredients. The first is time and focused effort, sometimes over years or even decades. The second is a rich ecosystem of ideas, which is often a result of collaboration. Our institute’s goal to provide both: we support researchers by giving them time and space to think within a stimulating mathematical environment.” – Professor Geordie Williamson, Director
