A series of talks on how mathematics is used outside academia. The three sessions in the morning had a strong quantum theme, but the afternoon session covered a wider set of topics. The recently published National Quantum Strategy and the ecosystem in the UK was discussed followed by a presentation from the National Cyber Security Centre on Post Quantum Cryptography. Afternoon talks were on how mathematics is used in Defence (DSTL), then in Industry (HP), and finally a session on the importance of fundamental mathematical research.
