Support for Young Mathematicians and Physical Scientists - “SYMPS” #
Assisting talented mathematicians and scientists whose education or career might be suffering for reasons that do not fulfil the prerequisites for assistance imposed by other education charities.
We finance carefully tailored interventions in the student or research life of suitable individuals.**
Do you know a faltering fisicist, a confused chemist, a muddled mathematician…
We invite referrals of able young students and researchers who might be losing their mojo.
Can you teach, mentor, counsel or befriend a troubled trainee, a stranded student, a restless researcher…
We encourage established professionals to help us vet or monitor referrals in exchange for a decidedly modest fee.
We collect information from the referrer, the subject (the referred person) and other connected people while always protecting the privacy of all the parties.
We consider (taking additional professional advice where appropriate) whether the subject might usefully be helped by an intervention that we are in a position to provide.
We select a simple intervention or design a more complex one that we feel meets the needs of the subject and whose efficacy can be effectively monitored by us. We hope that, at this point, the subject becomes a beneficiary.
We maintain regular contact during the course of any intervention with all beneficiares and other relevant parties in order to support the beneficiary and to monitor the progress of the intervention.
