With evidence of the potential for undergraduate students to work as research assistants in mathematics and statistics support centres and with a keen desire to develop explicit collaborations between member institutions within the hub sigma-sw piloted a summer intern programme for students across the region which aimed:
To provide undergraduates with an opportunity to engage in research activity linked to principles of mathematics and statistics support in HE;
To develop effective working collaborations between colleagues in sigma-sw initiated by the work carried out by students during the summer internship and leading to a research portfolio within sigma-sw.
