[grad-students] Fwd: Call for GIMMC and IPSW

[Marcus Emmanuel Barnes]

Begin forwarded message:

>> The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) is  
>> delighted to announce its 10th Graduate Industrial Modelling Camp  
>> (GIMMC) and the 11th Annual Industrial Problem Solving  Workshop  
>> (IPSW),
>> titled "Connecting Industry to Solutions."
>>
>> This year's GIMMC and IPSW will be held June 6-10 and 11-15,  
>> respectively, at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta,  
>> Canada.
>>
>> The GIMMC and IPSW provide an exciting and challenging opportunity  
>> for graduate students, postdocs, and faculty to tackle real-world  
>> problems using mathematical and statistical tools. Past projects  
>> have been published in the primary literature, and have led to  
>> ongoing research collaborations between academia and industry.
>>
>> For Graduate Students and Postdocs:
>> The GIMMC and IPSW is an intensive, interactive, two-week program  
>> that provides mathematics students with the training and  
>> opportunity to solve relevant, challenging, real-world problems.  
>> The first week consists of the Graduate Industrial Mathematical  
>> Modelling Camp (GIMMC), during which students learn creative and  
>> rigorous problem-solving techniques under the supervision and  
>> guidance of experts in the field. The second week is the IPSW  
>> proper, during which student-faculty teams apply their modeling  
>> expertise to problems provided by industry partners. Project  
>> results are presented at the end of the workshop, and published as  
>> a report. Note that students are required to attend both events,
>> the GIMMC and the IPSW. Funding is available for students that are  
>> accepted
>> to participate. There are no registration fees.
>> To apply to participate in the GIMMC and IPSW, please visit http:// 
>> www.pims.math.ca/ipsw/.
>>
>> For Faculty:
>> The GIMMC and the IPSW are run by a team of faculty mentors who  
>> are experts in a
>> wide range of mathematical theory and applications. During the GIMMC,
>> faculty guide students through sample problems that introduce and  
>> explore
>> key concepts in applied modeling. During the IPSW, teams of
>> students and faculty work together on problems posed by industry  
>> partners.
>> Serving as a faculty mentor is a challenging and rewarding  
>> experience, and provides opportunities for developing  
>> collaborative relationships with other students, faculty, and  
>> industrial partners. To apply to be a faculty mentor for the GIMMC  
>> and IPSW, please visit http://www.pims.math.ca/ipsw/. PIMS will  
>> provide
>> funding for participating faculty and there are no registration fees.
>>
>> For Industrial Partners:
>> The IPSW invites the submission of real-world problems that can be  
>> addressed with mathematical tools. Problems may originate from any  
>> industrial, commercial, government, or NGO sector, and can address  
>> topics in technological, environmental, medical, developmental, or  
>> other applications. During the IPSW, industry partners will be  
>> able to interact with the students and faculty tackling their  
>> problem. Final results will be made available in presentation and  
>> report formats. To submit a problem to the IPSW, please visit  
>> http://www.pims.math.ca/ipsw/. The IPSW is happy to help formulate  
>> industrial problems in mathematical terms. Non-academic partners
>> typically attend only the IPSW-portion of the workshop.
>>
>> The IPSW draws approximately 40 outstanding students and 12 expert  
>> faculty mentors from around the world. Please feel free to contact
>> me with any questions about the GIMMC or IPSW.
>>
>> Sincerely,
>>
>> Thomas Hillen
