Welcome
This website is dedicated to news about Mathematics in Industry. The principal focus is on Study Groups with Industry which are internationally recognised methods of technology and knowledge transfer between academic mathematicians and industry, usually lasting one week. Initiated in Oxford in 1968, they provide a forum for industrial scientists to work alongside academic mathematicians on problems of direct industrial relevance.
The success of the Study Groups' unique format, where problems presented by industry are used as a basis for mathematical research, is demonstrated by the extent to which it has been copied around the world and is now extending into other areas where mathematics may be applied.
This website also provides a repository of much of the information generated by these meetings including, when available, the detailed reports of problems from a large collection of past study groups.
Following the OECD reports on Mathematics in Industry and Mechanisms for Promoting Mathematics in Industry, available here, the website now includes information about Research Centres, Networks, Training and Conferences, where information has initially been garnered from the OECD reports. We welcome input from visitors via the contact us page.
