Industrial Mathematics KTN: objective

… to act as a catalyst for the exploitation of mathematics across business, by connecting companies, government, universities and public sector organisations, and stimulating innovation through knowledge transfer and sharing

.

We are helping to stimulate demand for Industrial Mathematics...Slide3

Industrial Mathematics: what is it?

...Mathematics with applicability to industry

Applicability governed by industry need rather than discipline boundaries

Mathematics research that underpins

industry need

Not always undertaken as applied or collaborative research

Deriving added value for industry often requires collaborationSlide4

Finding out what industry

needs: what do we do?

Problem-focused approach

Proven mechanisms for delivery

Wide range of application domains

Elicit

expressions of interest from industry for short-term projects

Work with industry to express problems in an accessible way

Seek academic partners via network of contacts in the science

base

This p

rocess helps to uncover industrially-relevant areas of research

Short-term engagements often lead to longer term research proposalsSlide5

Projects involving large and small companies...Slide6

...with academics from

a wide

range of universitiesSlide7

Industrial Mathematics research

Mathematics research with applicability to industry

Applicability governed by industry need rather than discipline boundaries

Mathematics research that underpins industrial needs

Not always undertaken as applied or collaborative research

Deriving added value for industry often requires collaboration

Short-term projects build on and stimulate relevant underpinning

research

Being able to identify and articulate the potential impact of mathematics is of growing in importance to finding resources for underpinning researchSlide13
