1 ...a vehicle for knowledge exchange between the mathematical sciences and the potential users of mathematics... Jane Leeks, Manager

2 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

3 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

4 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
