Eight KE "Super Champions" are employed part-time by
the UK Knowledge Exchange Hub for Mathematical Sciences (KE Hub),
and they form a network
of established mathematical scientists based around the UK.
A
recommendation of the 2018 Bond
Review, the KE Hub has been established to capitalise on the
mathematical sciences’ crucial contribution to the UK economy and global
society, and drive a step change in the scale, connectivity, and coordination
of Mathematical Sciences Knowledge Exchange infrastructure in the UK.
The Super Champions lead KE Hub projects such as the online Triage
Workshops
(with the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences),
engagement with companies,
short projects, training, the KE Professionals’ Forum, and the coordination and
dissemination of good practice. They engage with the V-KEMS – Virtual Forum for KE in
Mathematical Sciences - organising committee (V-KEMS is a joint project shared
between the Newton Gateway to Mathematics, the International Centre for
Mathematical Sciences and Innovate UK Business Connect).
The KE Hub is initially seed
funded by the Isaac Newton Institute through the EPSRC Additional Funding for
Mathematical Sciences.

Hub initiatives, please contact Professor Hongsheng Dai, Newcastle University’s
