The British Theoretical Mechanics Colloquium was founded by Sir James Lighthill, and was first held in 1959 in Manchester.
An annual conference has happened every year since then (with the exception of 2020, where the conference was postponed by one year), at a different university in the UK, with the conference now known as the BAMC, the British Applied Mathematics Colloquium.
The event hosted by Loughborough University will be the 63rd instance of the conference, and the 2nd hosted in Loughborough. We are honoured to again welcome the UK’s Applied Mathematics community, after 26 years!
