The UK's Graduate Modelling Camp will take place this year on Tuesday 12th July 2022 to Friday 15th July 2022. It will be an in-person event in Cambridge.
The Modelling Camp caters for early career mathematicians, usually those in the first and second years of their doctoral studies, who are keen to get hands-on modelling experience. It aims to provide students with experience of mathematical modelling under the guidance of experienced instructors and mentors. Modelling camp participants usually go on to attend the five-day European Study Group with Industry (ESGI). This year, the ESGI is being hosted by the University of Kent on the 18th-22nd July 2022.
The Newton Gateway to Mathematics in partnership with the University of Oxford and with Professor Chris Breward as the main academic organiser, are pleased to be facilitating this year’s event. The challenges that students work on at the camp are inspired by real-world challenges that have arisen in industry or science. Starting with presentations from the mentors, the participants then form teams to work on each problem, with each group presenting their results at the end. Prizes courtesy of the IMA and Newton Gateway to Mathematics will be awarded for the two teams best able to demonstrate good understanding of their problem, who are able to apply the most appropriate mathematical techniques and effectively communicate their progress.
Further information and the link to register are available on the event web page. The deadline for registrations is Friday 8th April 2022. Places are limited and there will be a nominal place-holding fee of £25 for students whose applications are successful. Participant accommodation and meals are fully funded.
