Caroline -- It would be useful to have copies of at least
the brochure for the HoDoMS conference 3-4 April in Birmingham.
There will be EPSRC representatives there but they may
be more concerned with research matters.

> The EPRSC produced a glossy brochure with lots of case
> studies of how maths is being used to solve problems from
> climate change to security and from communications to finance
> and economics. They also produced seven banners, each
> describing a different area in which maths can be applied and
> describing advances which have been made.
>
> Part of the EPSRC plan was that the materials produced should
> be for the mathematics community to use afterwards to
> continue showcasing the work going on in maths.
