Academics are being invited to help shape a new UK national mathematics academy announced by the Westminster government.
The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology wants the UK to become a “maths superpower” and take the lead in transformative technology, such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
Experts from across academia, as well as education, industry and the public sector, are invited to submit evidence on the future of the National Academy of Mathematical Sciences, which aims to upskill the country’s workforce and grow the economy.
Andrew Griffith, the science minister, said maths was “at the root of so much of our lives and our understanding of the universe”.
