KE Hub Triage workshops

Knowledge Exchange is a collaborative process between researchers and research users. The ICMS are involved in supporting the UK Knowledge Exchange Hub for Mathematical Sciences (KE Hub) which was launched last year.

Are you an external partner?

The KE Hub has been launched to facilitate connections with university-based mathematical scientists from across the UK, and enable business (including charities), industry, and government departments (B.I.G.) to benefit from the power of cutting-edge mathematical ideas. We welcome engagement with all sizes of companies, all sectors, and all levels of mathematical expertise – you can sign up to become a B.I.G. Partner here or contact [email protected] to find out more. Becoming a B.I.G. Partner will grant access to the latest information and funding calls, as well as KE Hub opportunities including short projects and triage workshops.

Triage workshops are online scoping sessions that allow B.I.G. Partners to directly engage in informal discussions with university-based mathematical scientists from across the UK. In each workshop, one B.I.G. partner presents a challenge to interested academics. The aim is to figure out if the mathematical sciences can help to address the challenge, and if so, to identify who would like to take things further, hopefully leading to new collaborations and projects.

You can register your interest in presenting a challenge at a triage workshop here or contact the organisers Dr Lauren Hyndman ([email protected]) and Prof Diwei Zhou ([email protected]) to find out more.

Are you an academic?

KE Hub triage workshops are interactive online scoping sessions that take place fortnightly from 10:00-11:30 on Friday mornings. In each workshop, a representative from business, industry or government presents a challenge and engages in informal discussions with interested academics from UK mathematical sciences departments. The aim is to figure out if the mathematical sciences can help to address the challenge, and if so, to identify who would like to take the challenge further, hopefully leading to new collaborations and projects. 

Academics interested in participating in triage workshops can join the KE Hub mailing list here to receive all the latest information. Reminders are sent out in advance of each workshop and a list of all upcoming and past triage workshops can be found here. If you would like to join in, please contact your local KE Champion for the Teams link. If your department has not yet nominated a KE Champion, please contact [email protected] to find out more.
