Have you got postgraduate students (or know of anybody) who would be interested in participating in the upcoming AMSI-MATRIX Winter School 2025<https://ws.amsi.org.au/> on mathematics for action: supporting decision-making for a better future hosted at MATRIX Creswick (Victoria, Australia) from 1-12 September?
We have two international travel and accommodation grants available to assist students from universities in the Asia-Pacific region attend the Winter School in person.
Participants will explore real-world applications of mathematical models, algorithms, and machine learning in fields such as healthcare, logistics and resource management, aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals.
* The two-week event is designed for postgraduate students, early-career researchers and industry professionals in the mathematical sciences and related disciplines.
* Prerequisite: It is expected that participants will have sufficient basic background in statistics, linear algebra, differential equations, optimisation, and coding.
* Two International student grants of up to AUD$1500 per student for travel are available. Grant recipients will also receive two weeks accommodation booked and paid for by AMSI-MATRIX. Please advise applicants of any additional funding they can access from their home departments to support their attendance.
* Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend in person at MATRIX Creswick, Victoria to maximise their experience, however, can opt to join online. Note: not all elements of the program are available remotely.
Courses:
* Mathematics of Bushfire Management
Professor Jason Sharples, UNSW Canberra
* Optimising for Impact: Tools and Techniques for Sustainable Decision-Making
Dr Marcella Papini, University of Newcastle
* Emerging Computational Methods for Sustainable Decision-Making
Professor Hoong Chuin Lau, Singapore Management University
* Discrete Applied Mathematics and Applications in Personalised Medicine and Data Science
Professor Pablo Moscato, University of Newcastle
In addition to the above courses, the program includes participants talks, a careers session, networking activities and special lectures by Professor Craig T Simmons, Associate Professor Elham Mardaneh, Professor Kate-Smith Miles, and Professor Elena Prieto.
Could you please promote this opportunity to your postgraduate students and encourage them to apply by Friday 8 August.
