Reviewer notes

[edit]
  • Seems to have received non-routine coverage (e.g., NYT) and appears to meet our notability criteria. Probably could use some adjustments to text for neutrality, but not bad at all for a first effort. I am going to redo some of the section headers, "quantitative approach" is not an appropriate summary of a sentence that describes the educational background of employees, but that too is the sort of problem best fixed via normal editing. --j⚛e deckertalk 16:41, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cantab Capital Institute for the Mathematics of Information

[edit]

In 2015 Cantab donated £5 million to launch the Cantab Capital Institute for the Mathematics of Information at Cambridge University. The research institute will use mathematical science techniques to analyse data for application in fields such as medicine, meteorology, urban planning and financial risk analysis. The Institute will have six lecturers and up to 18 Ph.D. students.[1]

The Institute was set-up in order to address the lack of philanthropic funding for data research, and to stimulate cutting-edge research in the area. In an interview with Pensions and Investments, Kirk said "...it is much easier to get funding for medical science or computer science [than for] more theoretical subjects like mathematics”. Kirk also characterised the donation as "philanthropic” and that the firm plans to keep its research in-house, while maintaining a "rewarding dialogue" with the Institute.

On choosing to donate to Cambridge, Mr. Kirk said Cantab was looking to "support something that is blue-sky thinking and in an area where it is harder to get philanthropic funding."
