In the dynamic realm of mathematical sciences, the significance of ethical, social, and environmental considerations is increasingly recognised. This is why ORBIT is delighted to be back at Warwick University’s MathSys CDT to deliver our Foundation in RRI training today.
MathSys stands at the forefront of integrating mathematics with real-world problems, focusing on areas like epidemiology, financial mathematics, and systems biology. This interdisciplinary approach, blending mathematics with practical applications, emphasises the importance of developing solutions that are not only technically robust but also ethically sound and socially responsible.
The MathSys CDT, a hub for innovative mathematical training, is dedicated to cultivating a new generation of researchers. These individuals are not only equipped with advanced mathematical skills but are also conscious of their research’s broader impacts. By embedding RRI principles into their curriculum, MathSys is leading the way in ensuring that mathematical innovations contribute positively to society and the environment.
RRI in mathematical sciences encourages researchers to look beyond numbers and algorithms and to consider the ethical implications of their work. It promotes a research culture where sustainability, inclusivity, and societal impact are integral to innovation. This approach aligns seamlessly with MathSys’s mission to solve complex, real-world challenges through interdisciplinary research and collaboration.
ORBIT’s Foundation in RRI training at MathSys is designed to empower students and researchers with the knowledge and tools to incorporate responsible practices into their projects.
Working with Warwick University’s MathSys CDT, we look forward to contributing to a future where mathematical innovations are synonymous with social responsibility and ethical integrity.
