to promote, facilitate and support knowledge exchange activities between
Academia and Business, Industry & Government. 

In order to ensure a diverse UK-wide institutional representation, KE
Champions act as local advocates of the initiative. Many but not all
Mathematics and Statistics departments have nominated KE Champions, as
may be seen in this interactive map [3]. If you are interested in
representing your department, further details of what it entails and how
to express your interest are given here [4]. 

More broadly, there is also a monthly newsletter, which you can sign up

5th birthday celebration event. This event is envisaged to be a
celebration of fluid dynamics and to highlight the importance of fluids
research industrially and societally. The programme will feature 3-4
keynote talks (confirmed speakers so far are Ann Dowling; Cath Noakes,
Stephen Belcher (Met Office) and Steven Cowley (Princeton Plasma Physics
Laboratory)), a women in fluids discussion panel, a poster session and a
showcase of fluids outreach demonstrations suitable for the general

capabilities of synchrotron X-ray imaging to investigate fast fluid
dynamic problems and to bring together both scientists who have
experience in using such techniques as well as those who would be
interested in considering using them. The workshop will be a unique
platform to foster discussions on which areas and specific problems in
fluid dynamics might benefit from fast X-ray imaging. The participants
will also learn how to apply for access to such a facility and how to
prepare and conduct a successful experimental campaign either using
environments available at the beamline as well as bringing their own
setups. Details of the event, the preliminary program and a list of
invited speakers can be found on the workshop website [14]. Registration
