Underpinning Defence Mathematics Programme: Call for proposals - deadline 31 January 2010
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is supporting a Programme of Underpinning Defence Mathematics (UDM) through the Industrial Mathematics KTN. The main objectives of the UDM Programme are to engage underpinning mathematical capability new to MoD; identify the best mathematical ideas and solutions through open competition and create new collaborations for knowledge transfer through Internships. Proposals are invited for research on novel measures of information content in data or image streams with respect to military objectives in the context of electromagnetic remote sensing. The total budget available under this Invitation to Tender is £150k. It is anticipated that we will fund up to 3 proposals at an approximate cost of £50k each.

Climate Change and Extreme Events: Managing Tail Risks, Washington D.C., 2-3 February 2010
Global climate change and globalization of markets pose a new challenge; Tail Risks. Severity of losses is fat tailed and heretofore independent damage types are coupled in tail dependence. Successive ‘worst cases’ keep getting much worse, historical averages don’t predict, pooling risks does not spread risks, and traditional risk management strategies do not work.
