Turing Centenary Research Project "Mind, Mechanism and Mathematics"

We are very happy to announce that the 8 Turing Fellows and Scholars have
been chosen to work on the 3-year Turing Centenary Research Project "Mind,
Mechanism and Mathematics". The details of the lucky winners can be found
at:
http://www.mathcomp.leeds.ac.uk/turing2012/give-page.php?704

There were no less than 92 proposals for these grants (provided by the
John Templeton Foundation), generally of very high quality, which gave the
Judging Panel a great deal of work to do. We would like to congratulate
the 8 worthy winners, and to encourage the other 91% of applicants to not
be discouraged, but to keep looking for funding opportunities, with the
expectation of eventual success.

We will be looking for a continuation of the "Mind, Mechanism and
Mathematics" programme in 2015.

Best, Barry
