Western University and the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences have launched a mathematics centre called the Fields-Western Collaboration Centre. The centre will offer a space for workshops, conferences, summer schools, and a new research hub called the Centre for Network Science. As a satellite campus for the Field Institute, the centre will bring together researchers from across southwestern Ontario and around the world and offer a place to discuss and apply mathematics research. “The excitement of doing mathematics in person with researchers around the world who are interested in the same thing is really valuable. We’re so excited to be able to bring that to Western’s campus,” said Western Dean of Science Matt Davison.
