Oxford Mathematics welcomes the announcement from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) of major new funding for the mathematical sciences. Professor Mike Giles, Head of Department, said "I am delighted to see UKRI's announcement of major new funding for the mathematical sciences. I think this recognises the huge impact of mathematical sciences in the whole economy, as well as in the NHS and other aspects of public life.
More than that, it also understands that the long-term health of the subject is critically underpinned by support for the whole research spectrum from fundamental curiosity-driven research through to a wide variety of applications. History has shown that any part of that spectrum can lead us in brand new and unexpected directions. The extra support will allow us to capitalise on these opportunities."
