Summary on Grant Application Form
The Midlands Graduate School (MGS) in the Foundations of Computing Science is an annual event for UK-based PhD

students in theoretical computer science, a research domain in which the UK is a longstanding world leader. The central

aspect of the MGS is the training of PhD students in the mathematical foundations of computing, by means of a yearly

Spring School that provides a series of technical courses on introductory, advanced and emerging topics.

This application is to seek continued EPSRC support for the MGS -- which it has enjoyed in recent years via three

successive grants -- by means of funding twenty places for PhD students at the 2011 event,

together with support for the invited lecturers, and (as required under full economic costing), the local organiser and the

director of the MGS. This application will secure the future of the MGS for the next year, and hence contribute to

maintaining the leading position of the UK in theoretical computer science.
