\n \n \n \nAmong the many asylum seekers and academics seeking refuge are mathematicians and statisticians; they are part of the global mathematical sciences community. However, when they come to the UK they may be unable to work and so feel isolated from the subject they love. They are in personal and intellectual limbo. Concerned and inspired by this predicament, a group of mathematicians at Oxford University decided to find ways to help these refugees overcome that sense of isolation and make them aware of mathematical science-based activities in the UK.
