...a vehicle for knowledge exchange between the mathematical sciences and the potential users of mathematics... Jane Leeks, Manager
TGM what we do/a reminder • The TGM is the impact initiative of the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI) • The Institute is the UK’s national institute for mathematical sciences research programmes • Launched in March 2013 the TGM acts as a knowledge intermediary for the mathematical sciences in the UK • Aims to extend the reach and highlight the importance of mathematics to all potential users – other disciplines, researchers in business/industry, public sector • User engagement – this is the basis of what we do, it’s understanding our own community, as well as end-users in order to engage effectively • Communication, facilitating , translating to maximise knowledge exchange
A Knowledge Intermediary for UK Mathematics Isaac Newton Institute Research Programmes • Helping create impact for INI programmes - Open for Business events • The TGM is well placed as part of the INI, with access to world-leading academics on Institute programmes and across the UK • Spinning out activity from programmes • Polynomial Optimisation - Optimisation for Space Engineering initiative (ESA, Airbus, other UK universities) • Quantum Information programme - post-quantum computing/cryptography (GCHQ, UK universities) • Data Linkage & Anonymisation – public understanding of privacy, data sharing and governance Delivery Partner • Working in partnership with many - industry, funders, Government, the KTN, institutions, learned societies, networks
Types of Activities A flexible and inclusive approach to enquires and ideas. These could include : • Need to address a specific technical issue or look for a better solution • Help with obtaining ideas for next generation solutions from mathematicians involved in frontier research • Development of networks, growing communities of contacts, stakeholder engagement and brokering Gateway activities could take a number of forms and can be developed and delivered by the TGM as a main delivery partner, or in partnership with others: • Events – workshops and consultations • Training programmes • Programmes of work and national networks • Bespoke projects UK Maths Community: • TGM is a key partner in the Industrial mathematics community • Key partner in the current Bond Review of Knowledge Exchange in the Mathematical Sciences – helping to establish best practice in knowledge exchange, overcoming obstacles, barriers, etc
