About the event

There are a wide range of careers related to mathematics that aren't commonly covered in school lessons - jobs where you apply mathematical thinking to real-world problems from designing buildings to managing money and investments.  At this interactive event, you'll have the chance to meet and network with a range of researchers and industry professionals, spanning a wide range of mathematical careers. 

This is an amazing opportunity to talk to people working in this exciting sector, to discover what they enjoy about their careers, and the varied paths they took to get to where they are now. 

We are grateful to the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences for their support of this event.
