In these forums, the invited companies pose problems in their field that can be treated by mathematical and numerical methods, statistics and operations research: modelling, process simulation and devices, computer-aided engineering (CAE), etc. Among others, there may be problems relating to fluid mechanics, structural analysis, heat transfer, acoustics, electromagnetism, quantitative finance, decision making support, statistical advice and analysis, quality control, risk analysis, process optimisation, stocks, etc. The forum's objectives are summarised as follows:
To this end, we actively seek companies with problems that can be treated with mathematical methods, as often in the areas of applied mathematics as in statistics or operational research.
