15 April 2010
Aula of the TU Delft
As of January 2010 there is a new 3TU Institute within the Federation of
the three Technical Universities (3TU) in The Netherlands: The Applied
Mathematics Institute (AMI).
This new institute will be inaugurated during a symposium on April 15.
This symposium highlights the importance of applied mathematics in
society. It is aimed at a wide audience. Keynote lectures will be given
by Volker Mehrmann (Matheon, Berlin), Huib de Vriend (Deltares) and
Robbert Dijkgraaf (KNAW).
For further information see: http://ami.3tu.nl , see also Symposium
programme below.
To register for the Symposium: http://ami2010.fyper.com/ Admission is
free but registration is required.
About AMI:
AMI is a collaboration of the Departments of Applied Mathematics of the
three Dutch Universities of Technology: Delft, Eindhoven and Twente.
- For many years the 3TUs successfully cooperate in education by
offering a joint MSC training. AMI will strengthen this cooperation.
- AMI will stimulate research collaborations.
- AMI is an umbrella for new initiatives.
- AMI is a one-stop contact for industry, government and education.
We look forward to seeing you on April 15.
On behalf of the organizing committee,
Benne de Weger (TUE)
Martin van Gijzen (TUD)
Nelly Litvak (UT)
