[DMANET] Announcement: Second NeEDS Modelling Week @ Universidad de Chile

Second NeEDS Modelling Week, www.riseneeds.eu
Faculty of Physical and Mathematical Sciences
Universidad de Chile (Santiago de Chile, Chile)
January 6th-11th, 2020
http://baficonference.cl/ModelingWeek/

The aims of NeEDS Modelling Week are
(i) to train students in modeling real-world problems using quantitative approaches, drawn from Data Science and Mathematical Optimization,
(ii) to stimulate their collaboration and communication skills in an international and intersectoral environmens,
(iii) to bring together academia with professionals from the public and private sector to show the potentials advanced quantitative models can have for practice as well as to nurture the respective research agendas. 

The format of the Second NeEDS Modeling Week is to spend one week working to solve real-world problems using different quantitative modeling approaches. Small groups of Master students, Ph.D. students, and junior researchers (like post-doctoral students) will be assigned to each problem in term of their preference and own skills. During the first day of the event the problems will be presented. An instructor leads each of these groups throughout the week. During the following four days, students will work on solving the problems under the guidance of the instructor and industrial collaborators. The final day of the meeting will be devoted to the presentation of the results.
