Deadline: February 28, 2025

The Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM), the Institute for Data Valorization (IVADO), and the Group for Research in Decision Analysis (GERAD) are organizing a problem-solving workshop in Montreal from June 2 to 6, 2025.

These workshops are the Canadian equivalent of the Semaines d’étude mathématiques - entreprises in France: participants (from industry or academia) form teams, each of which analyzes a problem provided by a company or institution. The workshop provides an opportunity for academic scientists to tackle real-world problems and for companies to access the expertise of researchers in statistics and mathematics.

The Agence pour les mathématiques en interaction avec l’entreprise et la société (AMIES, CNRS & Université Grenoble-Alpes) will fund travel expenses for doctoral students enrolled in French universities to participate in this workshop. Local costs (accommodation and meals) will be covered by the University of Montreal.

Interested individuals should contact Michel Mehrenberger (michel.mehrenberger@univ-amu.fr), professor at Aix-Marseille University and member of the AMIES board. An application file consisting of:

  • a CV
  • a motivation letter
  • a recommendation letter from the thesis supervisor must be sent to him no later than February 28, 2025.
