SUM4Products at the Materials Research Exchange

We're delighted that Helen Wilson, one of our network co-leads, spoke on a panel at Innovate UK's Materials Research Exchange conference (MRE2026- Advanced Materials for the Future). Helen joined the Materials meets Maths panel, contributing to discussion on how mathematics can reframe and unlock new perspectives on materials challenges.

We are grateful to have been able to share how SUM4Products is helping to connect academics with industrial partners and we were really pleased with how warmly the project was received. We appreciated the chance to build new connections and engage with colleagues across the sector to identify further opportunities for collaboration.

Thank you to everyone who engaged with us at the conference. We are very much looking forward to what's ahead!

With thanks to chair Alan Champneys and other panel members Georgia Atkinson, Kevin Lindsey, Michael Nieves and Ujjwal Bharadwaj, and to Dawn Geatches for capturing these photos of the event.
