Achieving Impact from Applied,
Computational & Industrial Mathematics
1. Reflections and perceptions on
▪ evolving modes of collaboration
▪ “mathematical” sciences and collaboration
2. Current challenges …
3. A recent response…
▪ revolution through evolution…
▪ learnings and predictions
4. Personal evolutions… the “Frank effect”
• … you need “street smarts” to create & work in entwined collaborations…. • multidisciplinary science is an ecosystem, not a battlefield• embracing diversity of view and being inclusive
serial management
parallel co-operation
entwined collaboration

Specific impacts…
•Government, Industry and Innovation sectors are identifying improved practices/technologies for their information workflows
•Government, Industry and Innovation sectors are better able to respond to emerging needs and opportunities
•Policy development & implementation is supported by robust information assets and collaborative dialogue engaging stakeholders
•Community decision making and debates are collaborative and better informed
•National research capacity in information sciences is strengthened to a critical mass that meets challenges and realises opportunities
•“Science” is contributing to and benefiting from the global research effort
Research cultures Multidisciplinary, diverse, inclusive
