This morning was officially established in Amsterdam the Stichting European Service Network of Mathematics for Industry and Innovation (EU-Maths-IN), a European network of national or multinational networks of research groups in Mathematics.

This network-of-networks named EU-MATHS-IN, sponsored by the European Mathematical Society (EMS) and the European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI), aims to become a dedicated one-stop-shop and service unit to coordinate and facilitate the required exchanges in the field of application-driven mathematical research and its exploitation for innovations in industry, science and society.

The new organization has been established in Amsterdam on November 27, 2013 with a joint meeting of the stakeholders:

• AMIES | Agence pour les mathématiques en interaction avec l'entreprise et la société. France
• KoMSO | Komitee für mathematische Modellierung, Simulation und Optimierung. Germany
• math-in | Red Española Matemática-Industria (Spanish Network for Mathematics & Industry). Spain
• Smith Institute | Smith Institute for industrial mathematics and systems engineering. United Kingdom
• SM[i]² | Sportello matematico per l'industria italiana. Italy
• PWN | Platform Wiskunde Nederland. Netherlands

From ITMATI, which participates in the Math-in Red as an institutional partner, we want to congratulate the European partners for this initiative and give our best wishes for great success in the field of Industrial Mathematics.
