How to register
Unfortunately, registration has closed, but the instructions are still here as an indication of what registration looks like. We hope to see you next year! Subscribe to our one-time mailing list for a notification when ICMC 8 registration opens.
Starting last year, ICMC decentralised the registration process and you will need to register via your own university.
If your university is listed under Partner Universities, then you should contact the email next to it to find out how to register. If your university is not listed, encourage your mathematics society (or mathematics department, if your university does not have a mathematics society) to become a partner, which they can do by contacting us.
If your mathematics society/department has still not been partnered by the 16th of November, you have the option of making invigilating arrangements yourself. If you choose to do this, your invigilator must be an academic staff member. Ask them to contact us and we can send them invigilator instructions.
