Radu Cimpeanu (Maths) has asked that we bring this event to your attention. short deadline for registration which closes on 10 May.
The University of Exeter is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 195th European Study Group with Industry (ESGI195), taking place 20-24 July 2026 at the University of Exeter. Event website: https://mathematics.exeter.ac.uk/esgi/
There is a generous budget of fully funded places, covering accommodation and subsistence for the duration of the event. Please register your interest by completing the application form by the 10 May 2026.
ESGI is an intensive, week-long workshop that brings together researchers in mathematics, statistics and computer science with partners from industry, government, charities, and the public sector to collaboratively tackle open challenges. Over five days, participants form focus groups, brainstorm approaches, develop models, and work directly with challenge owners to deliver mathematical and computational solutions. ESGI is an excellent opportunity for participants to apply their skills in new contexts, build collaborations, and network with peers and sector leaders.
To date we have confirmed challenges on:
- development of accessible software tools for vision-impaired mathematicians,
- graph theory analysis of floor plans in planning applications,
- adding functionality to automated theorem provers,
- modelling carbon capture from large-scale active regreening initiatives, and
- monitoring donkey welfare in the global south.
We warmly welcome researchers at all career stages, including PhD students, postdocs, early-career researchers, senior academics, and independent scientists.
Many thanks and warm regards,
The ESGI 195 Organising & Scientific Committee
