The meeting will be focused on short courses, of three one-hour lectures each, given by invited distinguished researchers, which are supplemented by contributed short talks by other participants and posters of case studies. This edition is especially dedicated to two main themes
Optimization and Financial Mathematics
Mathematical Epidemiology
Debate "The teaching of mathematics in Engineering, Economics and Natural Sciences courses"
Talks 6th June (thursday): Special participation of members of the Unit Models Of Risk and Decision, Millenniumbcp Portuguese Banco Comercial, SA
The meeting is promoted as one of the activities of APMInd "Associação Portuguesa da Matemática para a Indústria" (Portuguese Association of Mathematics for Industry) <http://cmup.fc.up.pt/cmup/apmind/index.html> (in construction).
Registration form: <http://cmup.fc.up.pt/cmup/apmind/meeting2013/registration.html> (deadline: next 15th May 2013).
The purpose of this meeting is to focus the attention on the many and varied opportunities to promote applications of mathematics to industrial problems. Its major objectives are:
- Development and encouragement of industrial and academic collaboration, facilitating contacts between academic, industrial, business and finance users of mathematics
- Through "bridging the industrial/academic barrier" these meetings will provide opportunities to present successful collaborations and to elaborate elements such as technology transfer, differing vocabularies and goals, nurturing of contacts and resolution of issues.
- To attract undergraduate students to distinctive and relevant formation profiles, motivate them during their study, and advance their personal training in Mathematics and its Applications to Industry, Finance, etc.
