Overview

Developed on behalf of V-KEMS and supported by the KE Hub, Innovate UK Business Connect is hosting this three-day virtual study group that aims to bring mathematical sciences and other disciplines together to address challenges involved in the water sector.

 

Background

On a day-to-day basis the water sector faces many challenges some of which make striking media headlines because they appear to be simple to solve. However, look beneath the surface and glimpse a world of complexity involving legacy infrastructure, increasing demands, and the impact of climate change. Such complex challenges entice mathematicians, data scientists, and modellers to apply their skills and expertise to explore current, complex issues that impact our society.

 

Aims and Objectives

To bring together those working in mathematical and data sciences, modelling, water companies and associated organisations, to address three challenges faced by the water sector.

 

Details of the three challenges will be available in due course and are likely to include themes such as the provision of clean and unpolluted water in the face of extreme events such as flooding invoked by climate change.
