Car Park

Note that there is no guest car park so delegates will be required to park in the University Visitor Car Parks on Campus. See car park map here.

Industries

Industries present their problems on the morning of the first day to the Group. The industry representatives will discuss with the group what aspects of the problem should be addressed, and how these may be approached. It is likely that the group will subdivide, but this will depend on the problem. It is expected that the industry representatives will be on hand (preferably physically) to answer questions, provide access to codes and generally ensure that the problem context is clear throughout the Study Group.

Academics

From the academic side, the Study Group will consist of researchers from various fields, not limited to mathematics, statistics, computer scientists, and engineers. As well as university researchers, we strongly encourage registrations from PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and early-stage researchers. In addition to these attendees the Study Group will host a number of Public Sector representatives from the Research Councils, Department of Business Innovation and Skill and the Ministry of Defence. The researchers ask questions and choose which group they may be able to help with. An academic Project Lead will be nominated - likely from the Institute of Risk and Uncertainty.
