MINI SYMPOSIUM

Mathematics has been used as a powerful tool in the solution of industrial and business problems for many years but there are still several real life situations where mathematical ideas can be invaluable. This minisymposium aims to provide a venue for academic mathematicians and for industrial/commercial actors to present work related to industrial and business problems, interact and exchange ideas, and form new collaborations. The concept of a study group with industry, for example ESGI, an internationally recognized method of technology and knowledge transfer between academic mathematicians and industry will also be described and explored. The value of collaboration between academia and industry will be demonstrated through teamwork on a real case study.

Topics:
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit original work related, but not limited to, the following topics:

- Successful case studies of Mathematics in Industry and Business (problems from the physical, biological, environmental, and social sciences are welcome)
- Mathematical methodologies (including numerical methods) that can be applied to industrial and business problems
- Mathematical models based on differential equations (and their analysis) that have been inspired by real life
- Open problems in industry and business that could benefit from a mathematical approach (for industrial participants)
