Professor Markus Mueller and Dr Joseph Burchell have been awarded as joint winners for the University of Edinburgh's Research Impact Prize in the category of Sustained Partnership for their work with Mocean Energy.

Dr Lars Schewe, Reader in Operational Research at the School of Mathematics, was seconded to the Edinburgh Earth Initiative in 2022/23, helping to foster connections between the School of Mathematics, other Schools across the University, and external partners – a collaboration that can potentially translate to large funding bids in the future. Here we hear from Lars about his experience as a secondee and how mathematics is an essential tool in tackling the climate crisis.
