Cash for collaboration: what the MILES programme is about and what it can do for you

Abstract: This will be a short talk to introduce Models and Mathematics in Life and Social Sciences (MILES), which is Surrey's newly funded Bridging the Gaps programme that will start in the autumn. The idea is to get people thinking about how we can make the most of this grant, so that there is lots of activity when we officially launch. It could potentially benefit any of us and is aimed just as much at people who have not thought previously about cross-disciplinary research, as those who already work in life or social science modelling. The value of the award is £800K over 3 years, the majority of which will be available to support new research projects that form during the programme.
