The Cambridge University Ethics in Mathematics Society (CUEiMS) is here to help mathematicians recognise the ethical questions that can arise when doing mathematics. By hosting lectures, talks, and discussions we hope to give mathematicians some of the insight and tools that they will need to deal with ethical issues in their work.

We host the seminars Ethics in Mathematics in Michaelmas and Advanced Ethics in Mathematics in Lent. All are welcome to join us for some interesting observations and friendly discussion.

If you have a question about this list, please contact: Andrew Carlotti; Toby Clifton; 73855; Mitchell Chiew; Artem Khovanov; Tom Fryers; Sae Koyama; 118699. If you have a question about a specific talk, click on that talk to find its organiser.
