Abstract

In this talk I will present examples of cooperation between applied mathematicians at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and industry. Focus is on the European Study Group for Industry (ESGI), which is a workshop series running in many European countries aiming at enhancing cooperation between mathematicians and industry. The ESGI workshops are organized under the auspices of the European Consortium of Mathematics in Industry (ECMI). However, ESGI like workshops are also organized outside Europe, and examples are Canada and India.

The duration of an ESGI workshop is from Monday to Friday noon. On Monday morning the companies and public institutions present problems suitable for mathematical modelling. The university participants choose a problem they can contribute to and work on this during the week. Friday morning is reserved for presentations in plenum of achieved results, and in the following weeks reports are completed for the companies and public institutions. The organization of the ESGI workshops will be presented together with specific modelling examples and some historical remarks.

If time allows one or two other cooperation projects with industry will be presented. The research in those is typically conducted by industrial PhD students and post docs.
