The Société Mathématique du Luxembourg (SML) is the national society of the mathematics professions in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

  • We represent the mathematics professions in Luxembourg, to promote mathematics.
  • We represent Luxembourg among other mathematical societies. The SML is a corporate member of the European Mathematical Society. We are also a member of the International Mathematics Union. This promotes international cooperations.
  • We organize conferences, workshops, seminars, round table discussions etc., to foster exchanges.
  • We edit selected publications of research findings, survey articles, books and lecture notes, to contribute to the developing of mathematics.
  • We provide a network for professional mathematicians working in Luxembourg, whether in academia, industry, or in schools, to support mathematicians.
  • We deliver prizes to exceptional pupils and students, to foster talents. We also support undergraduate research through mentoring.
  • We organize a variety of outreach events, to promote mathematics to selected audiences or to the general public.

SML Benefits.
  • As a member of the SML, you support Mathematics and mathematicians in Luxembourg and efforts to get backing for mathematics from Luxembourg and European institutions.
  • You can join the European Mathematical Society (EMS) via the SML and benefit from a reduced EMS membership fee (25€ instead of 50€). Benefits include inter alia a free subscription to the EMS newsletter. EMS members receive discount on various books and journals and have reduced registration fees for many conferences and meetings (please view the benefits listed on the EMS webpage). The payment for the EMS needs to be done to the SML account (with the reference: Your NAME, "European Mathematical Society").
  • The SML has also reciprocity agreements with the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society (RSME) and the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung (DMV).
  • SML members have about 50 % discount on the membership fee for AMS and RSME. For AMS, this includes a free subscription to the AMS notices and the Bulletin of the AMS (please view the AMS membership benefits on the AMS webpage).
