Communicating mathematical and data sciences: What does success look like?
Climate change, artificial intelligence, disease modelling and public health – these are just a few of the societal issues that mathematical and data sciences are key to understanding and addressing. It is vital that those outside the research community – including policy makers, mainstream media, and the wider public – are informed about advances in these areas and are part of the discussions about such research. And researchers need professional help to communicate their research and engage with concerns from these wider audiences.
This one-day event at the Isaac Newton Institute will explore evidence for effectively communicating research in mathematical and data science to non-experts. Speakers come from a range of fields, including economics, government, health, neuroscience, as well as mathematics and data science. The event is organised in collaboration with the Newton Gateway to Mathematics. It is supported by the Academy for Mathematical Sciences and the Knowledge Exchange Hub for Mathematical Sciences.
