The AWE-University of Manchester partnership demonstrates a shared endeavour to build on the work being undertaken in advanced mathematics and numerical methods.
Professor Peter Green, Interim Vice-President and Dean of the Faculty of Science and Engineering at The University of Manchester, said: “By bringing together academic and industry knowledge in this way we are helping to build the capabilities needed to underpin the UK’s long-term resilience in an increasingly complex world. Through this partnership we will play a vital role in nurturing the future STEM workforce and catalysing research.”
