[00604] Frontiers of Collaboration with Industry: Towards International Mathematical Commons

  • Session Time & Room :
    • 00604 (1/2) : 3C (Aug.23, 13:20-15:00) @G301
    • 00604 (2/2) : 3D (Aug.23, 15:30-17:10) @G301
  • Type : Proposal of Industrial Minisymposium
  • Abstract : This mini-symposium introduces the forefront of various organizational initiatives aimed at mathematical research and educational institutions around the world using the power of mathematics for solving industrial problems, including activities to provide a basic environment and to promote the building of relationships with industry. By sharing not only the outputs but also various issues and solutions conducted through these activities with participants, we expect to contribute to the formation of an international platform, a mathematical common, where mathematicians, together with industry, can overcome the myriad of difficulties our society must confront.

      • [01978] The UniSA Mathematics Clinic: How to build a work-integrated-learning ecosystem
        • Format : Talk at Waseda University
        • Author(s) :
          • Lesley Ann Ward (University of South Australia)
        • Abstract : The University of South Australia Mathematics Clinic runs yearlong authentic industry-sponsored research projects for small teams of final-year undergraduate mathematics students. I will outline how to build the necessary commitment and structure for such a programme, touching on curriculum; articulation with other mathematics courses; coaching students in professional skills and leadership roles; pitching and recruitment of industry sponsors; engaging students and academic staff; intellectual property, confidentiality, and contracts; and scoping and development of suitable projects.
      • [02932] Industrial Student Research Programs and Industry Connections at IPAM
        • Format : Talk at Waseda University
        • Author(s) :
          • Christian Ratsch (UCLA)
        • Abstract : The goal of the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) is to foster the interaction of mathematics with a broad range of science and technology. In this talk I will review and discuss some of the IPAM activities that are used to fulfill this goal. I will discuss the Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) program, where undergraduate students work in teams on projects that have been sponsored by an industrial partner.
      • [01963] Development of Mathematics for Industry in Japan: New Research Area, Education and Platform
        • Format : Talk at Waseda University
        • Author(s) :
          • Kenji Kajiwara (Institute of Mathematics for Industry, Kyushu University)
        • Abstract : In this talk, we exhibit activities of "Mathematics for Industry" (MfI) in Japan, initiated by the Institute of Mathematics for Industry(IMI), Kyushu University founded in 2011. MfI intends to develop a new research area of mathematics formed by responding to the needs of industries associated with various relevant activities such as education and network/platform formed by mathematicians and mathematical institutes. We present various challenges to realizing the idea of MfI in Japan.
      • [01984] APCMfI and International Mathematical Commons for Asia Pacific region
        • Format : Online Talk on Zoom
        • Author(s) :
          • Zainal Abdul Aziz (Universiti Teknologi Malaysia)
        • Abstract : In order to facilitate Mathematics for Industry-MfI within the platform of International Mathematical Commons for Asia Pacific region i.e., encompassing academia, industrial, government and communal sectors; then APCMfI have to implement more effective mechanisms. These include fostering Asia Pacific Study Groups with Industry, proposing Centres of MfI-based in Universities, establishing Asia Pacific Networks, promoting National Networks, supporting Conferences and Workshops on Industrial Problems, Student Programmes and Modelling Camps, Internships and Industry/Academia Exchanges and Consultancy.

      • [01944] European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry - research and education
        • Format : Talk at Waseda University
        • Author(s) :
          • Alessandra Micheletti (Università degli Studi di Milano)
        • Abstract : The European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI) is a consortium of academic institutions and industrial companies that acts co-operatively to promote and support the use of mathematical modelling, simulation, and optimization in any activity of social or economic importance. ECMI is devoted to research motivated by industrial problems and education of Industrial Mathematicians to meet the growing demand for such experts. In this talk we will present an overview of ECMI activities in research, education and international cooperation.

      • [02986] mathematics in the society: rethinking its role, one graduate student at a time.
        • Format : Online Talk on Zoom
        • Author(s) :
          • yuliy baryshnikov (UIUC)
        • Abstract : Each year, a wave of new PhD in mathematics graduate. Statistically just about half of them will find a position in academia. How are we preparing the rest to the increasingly important role the mathematicians play in the modern society? In this talk I will present some observations and experiences from perspectives of both academic and industrial research departments.
