Talking Maths in Public


Talking Maths in Public is a conference which runs in the UK every two years, for people who work in, or otherwise participate in, communicating mathematics to the public. The event is independently organised, and funded by ticket sales and grants from mathematical institutions. Our events in 2017, 2019, 2021 (online) and 2023 all fully sold out and were highly rated by attendees.

TMiP 2025 will take place in the Zeeman Building at the University of Warwick on 27th - 30th August 2025, with the option to participate online too. We'll have two days of workshops, sessions and discussions on Thursday and Friday, and a half day on Saturday for networking and activities. More details, including event programme, ticket prices and lineup will be released in early 2025.

TMiP is run by an independent committee of people who work in different areas of maths communication, and the event includes workshops provided by expert guests, discussions on varied topics, networking sessions and chances to share ideas and showcase projects.

During the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, Talking Maths in Public organised a series of online events called Talking Maths in Lockdown, on topics including online communication, inclusivity and learning new skills. The recordings and resources from these sessions are still available.

As well as TMiP, the UK also has the mathsci-comm Network, which aims to connect those working in, and with a stake in, communicating complex mathematics and data science to a variety of non-expert audiences - including researchers, media and communications professionals, those working in policy in government and non-government organisations.

If you're a math communicator based in the USA, the Math Communications network is attempting to set up a new equivalent organisation, inspired by TMiP.
