Impact and engagement

Although the impact of mathematics is often indirect and tends to be long-term, our research has had significant impact in many ways.

We create the potential for further research impact by facilitating connections and ideas exchange across the University and with industrial partners and policymakers.

We have built strong collaborative relationships with diverse organisations such as Fera Science, Unilever, the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science and the Office for National Statistics.
