The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Algebra, Geometry and Quantum Fields (AGQ), brings together researchers in fundamental mathematics and physics from the Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and Heriot-Watt University. Together they will lead the UK's first CDT to offer specific training in algebra and mathematical physics, alongside geometry and topology.
