The KTN plays an important role in helping to identify and signpost themes of emerging strategic importance for the use of mathematics in business innovation. This page is a catalogue to these initiatives.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is supporting a Programme of Underpinning Defence Mathematics (UDM) through the Industrial
Mathematics Knowledge Transfer Network.

The Energy White Paper: Meeting the Challenge was published on 23 May 2007. It identifies two long-term energy challenges faced by the UK: first, tackling climate change by reducing carbon dioxide emissions both within the UK and abroad, and second, ensuring secure, clean and affordable energy as the UK becomes increasingly dependent on imported fuel. The White Paper sets out the Government’s international and domestic energy strategy to respond to these long term energy challenges.

The EU's Competitiveness Council on 25 June reached agreement on a 'general approach' to a draft regulation to establish a European Institute of Technology (EIT). The Council agreed that the EIT would start with an initial two to three Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs), which will address the EU
priorities of renewable energy and climate change. The establishment of the first KICs (expected in 2009) will form the first of a two-step approach. Subject to an evaluation of the EIT's activities, a second step will see the creation of further KICs and a longer-term strategy for the EIT.

The European Framework Seven Programme was launched in January 2007. The programme will extend over 7 years and is designed to support a wide range of participants: from universities, through public authorities to small enterprises and researchers in developing countries.

One of our target areas for developing modelling and simulation capability in the UK is uncertainty and risk in energy supply. The first stage is identify the key challenges faced by the energy sector and the areas where modelling and simulation can help to address those challenges.

In science and engineering, modelling is the formulation of mathematical representations, or ‘models’, of real-world phenomena and processes, which are then solved by simulation using analytical and numerical techniques to produce quantitative predictions and understanding.
