Mathematics in Industry Study Groups

have taken off all over the world. Here is a useful link to a number of them, and to some of the published reports too.

Australian and New Zealand Mathematics in Industry Study Group (MISG):
A workshop, traditionally held each year in Australia since the 1980's, founded and supported by Oxford applied mathematicians and ANZIAM (of the Australian Mathematical Society), and held in New Zealand in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Problems from industry are presented by industrial representatives on Monday, are brainstormed and solved Tuesday through Thursday by university academics and students. Results are reported on Friday by problem moderators, who then write up a detailed report. A great initiative linking New Zealand industry and university researchers in a lively and fruitful collaboration.

Study Groups are now also held in New Zealand annually, with support from ANZIAM, and with vital logistical support from KiwiNet. The first Mathematics in Industry New Zealand Study Group (MINZ) was held in July 2015 at Massey University in Albany, Auckland. The second is at Victoria University of Wellington, in July 2016.
