The Modelling Camp aimed to:
- Train students and early career mathematical science researchers to engage in study groups and similar activities
- Offer essential skills training – team-work, coping outside of one’s comfort zone, introduction to modelling methodology, report writing, communication, and presentation skills
- Discover how different branches of mathematics can be applied in various industrial settings
The ICMS and MAC-MIGS Modelling Camp was structured to maximise time for networking and informal discussions. We are delighted that the 2023 event was held in-person in Edinburgh.
Participation:
Participation in a modelling camp is excellent preparation for Study Groups. European Study Groups with Industry are events across Europe. There is an annual ESGI in the UK.
