Mathematics in Industry Study Group 2025

Monday 20 January - Friday 24 January 2025

A Mathematics in Industry Study Group is a five-day workshop at which academic researchers and graduate students work collaboratively with representatives from industry on research problems submitted by local industry. Study Groups have been organized for over fifty years in many countries around the world. The first Study Group in South Africa was held in 2004.

A Study Group is open and free from any non-disclosure agreement with industry.

VENUE: School of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa (Google Maps link)

Registration closed on 1 December 2024.

The Study Group will be an onsite face-to-face Study Group. 
Arrangements may be made to accommodate experts in the field for short virtual sessions.

The MISG will be preceded by the Graduate Modelling Camp at the same venue from Wednesday 15 January to Saturday 18 January 2025. The objective of the Graduate Modelling Camp is to provide graduate 雷速体育_雷速体育直播s with additional hands-on experience at mathematical modelling and solving problems of industrial origin.
