Industrual Problem Solving Workshops (IPSW)

PIMS Industrial Problem Solving Workshops aim to create a mutually beneficial link between researchers in industry and academic mathematicians. Research workers with industrial and commercial concerns are invited to present one of their current technical problems. Leading specialists from the academic community study these problems in teams during the week-long workshop, and present the results of their study back to the industrial participants at the end of the week.

Problems can come from a wide variety of subject areas, but should be amenable to mathematical modelling and analysis. PIMS publishes proceedings from selected IPSW. The IPSW are held annually, rotating between PIMS, Fields and CRM.
