Registration is now open for the 2013 MISG Graduate School on Industrial and
Applied Mathematics.
Immediately preceding the MISG Workshop will be an MISG Graduate School
on Industrial and Applied Mathematics aimed at Honours and Postgraduate students.
The Graduate School content will be delivered by world-class researchers in
this field, Professors Ian Turner, Kerrie Mengersen and Erhan Kozan of the School
of Mathematical Sciences at QUT. The Graduate School will provide an excellent
lead into the MISG Workshop and students are encouraged to attend both.
2013 Mathematics-In-Industry Study Group
Date: 29 January to 2 February 2013
Venue: Science and Engineering Centre at QUT, Brisband

Contact: Professor Troy Farrell (misg@qut.edu.au)
The MISG is a special interest group of ANZIAM and also an activity of AMSI. It
is an exciting event that sees applied mathematicians, statisticians, engineers and
physical scientists work together with industry representatives on technical problems
that are of immediate relevance to the industry partner. Since its inception,
the MISG has worked with more than 85 business and industry partners, ranging
from large multinational conglomerates to small-to-medium enterprises. Over the
years, the group has worked on more than 150 different projects spanning a broad
spectrum of sectors including government, financial services, mining, car manufacturing,
railways and freight, metal processing, food and beverages, oil and gas,
utilities, biomedical science, and technology. Academics and researchers challenge
themselves to achieve the best possible outcomes in a short amount of time for
government, industry and business, so the workshop atmosphere is exciting and
vibrant.
