Oxford wins the Woolly Owl Trophy

The 15th Biennial Oxford/Cambridge Applied Mathematics Meeting was won by Oxford.  The Woolly Owl Trophy is now back in the halls of OCIAM in Dartington House.

This event has taken place biennially since 1983. Fifteen minute talks are given by young researchers. They are judged by two distinguished academics from other institutions who award the winning university the coveted Woolly Owl.  However, this year there were three judges: John Harper (Victoria University of Wellington, NZ), Arash Yavari (Georgia Tech, Atlanta, USA), Sharon Stephen (University of Birmingham, UK).

Speakers and talks are listed on the OCIAM web pages.  The next event will be hosted by Cambridge in 2013.
