Our School is committed to making positive change in areas surrounding climate and sustainability. We aim to do this via our world-leading research and our engagement with industry, as well as through our curriculum to inspire the next generation of mathematicians. We are also committed to conducting our own research and teaching as sustainably as possible. The climate emergency is probably the greatest threat that humanity faces. The School of Mathematics is acting to address its own environmental sustainability, reducing the carbon in the energy we use for heating, for food we eat, and the travel we take. Because we are mathematical scientists we are doing this led by the data and the numbers, and based on this we advocate for improvement within the University and beyond. Professor Iain Gordon Head of the College of Science and Engineering and former Head of School (2016-2022) Our Researchers Many of our academic staff are directly involved with sustainability research, in areas like energy, biodiversity and food supply. School Strategy The School of Mathematics is developing a strategy in order to have a coordinated School-wide approach to resolving sustainability issues. Impact in Society Through our research we are impacting society and our national sustainability goals. Our Curriculum We are striving to embed sustainability within our curriculum, via dedicated taught courses, student research projects, and employability challenges.
