Study Groups are collaborative problem-solving workshops where applied mathematicians tackle real life problems brought by companies. They help to rapidly determine the key scientific issues and mathematical challenges to be confronted.
On the first morning of the meeting, the companies present their problem to the whole mathematical audience.
The academics then form problem-solving teams which work collaboratively with the indusry representatives. The teams formulate their ideas in an accessible way in order to realise the benefits from modelling, analysis and computation.
At the end of the meeting, the academics present the results of their investigations, and outline the possible future work that can be done.
Please refer to http://www.maths-in-industry.org for examples of Study Groups around the world over the past number of years.
