Our Mission: 

Through strategic partnerships we foster a diverse, collaborative and supportive environment to nurture the UK maths ecosystem and deliver high quality, impactful mathematical research that makes a difference to national security.

Our Values:

We support equity, diversity and inclusion: to ensure we are accessing the talents of all and are getting input from different perspectives.

We act with integrity:  so that those who work for us have confidence in the organisation and our sponsors, and we have the trust of the wider academic community.
