The School of Mathematics of the University of Edinburgh and ENODA invite you to participate in the Edinburgh Undergraduate Operational Research Challenge. The challenge is to design a solution for a practical problem using operational research. If you are interested in using numerate techniques to solve practical problems and enable decision-makers to execute better decisions and make a difference for society, then this challenge is for you!

The PhD in Statistical and Applied Mathematics at the University of Bath is now accepting applications. This is a fully-funded 4-year programme that offers topics in a range of areas of applied mathematics; machine learning is represented very strongly among those. 

If you would like to solve real-life problems using statistics and operational research to have positive impact on business, the economy or society, then consider applying to the STOR-i Centre for Doctoral Training to start in October 2026. Joining STOR-i will enable you to:

Opportunity for students to shape student welfare at Oxford 

The great man theory of history is back in vogue: the idea that it is individuals not wider forces that shape the world, both by their own actions and the way they influence others. In music, Beethoven has long been a member of the club. Here's why (it starts very quietly).

We value your insights and invite you to share how your lecture courses are going so far! This is a chance to let us know what's working well and what could be improved, and we can then enact any changes required whilst term is still ongoing.

Join us for a one-day, in-person conference hosted by the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS) Division, bringing together researchers, technicians, and research enablers to explore how artificial intelligence is shaping scientific inquiry - and the ethical questions that arise.

This event is a showcase for cutting-edge research across the MPLS Division, with opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange, networking, and collaboration.
