PURE - Probability, Uncertainty and Risk in the Environment
Are you working in the area of natural hazards?
Would you benefit from interacting with expert mathematicians to address risk and uncertainty challenges?
Would you like to create new academic collaborations?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, please submit a problem to this year’s Study Group with Industry!
The PURE Knowledge Exchange Network (https://connect.innovateuk.org/web/pure) is pleased to announce a call for problems to be presented at the 85th European Study Group with Industry held at the University of East Anglia, between 16th and 20th April 2012.
What is the Study Group?
-------------------------------
These week-long workshops were initiated by the University of Oxford in 1968, and provide a forum for industrial scientists to work alongside academic mathematicians on problems of direct industrial relevance. At each Study Group, mathematicians from around the world gather to work intensively on problems brought by outside companies. The problems can come from a variety of areas, including: fluid mechanics, chemistry, electronics, engineering, transport, environment, finance, optimisation, biology and medicine. Recent examples related to natural hazards include accounting for uncertainties in earthquake modelling and investigating hurricane clusters. Please see more details about this year’s event at http://www.cimr.uea.ac.uk/workshops/esgi85/
What will you get?
-----------------------
The meeting starts on Monday morning with a series of presentations from the companies that outline the problem they would like investigated. The participants then split into groups to work on the different problems for the rest of the week. On the Friday, each group delivers an oral presentation to the meeting on the progress they have made on the problem. A formal written report of the work is also produced following the meeting. Further collaborations between the companies and the academics may then result.
How much does it cost?
-----------------------------
The fee to present a problem related to probability, uncertainty and risk in natural hazards will be £2,000. This year we are able to support 1 or 2 problems at this rate.
How to apply?
------------------
If you have an idea, please get in touch with PURE Network Manager, Melvin Brown at [log in to unmask]
Deadline is 16th March 2012
