Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI), and the Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (CIAM) at the University of South Australia (UniSA), sponsor this one-day workshop. The workshop features nine prominent speakers and provides a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and discover new trends. Postgraduate students and early-career researchers in all walks of Applied Mathematics are particularly welcome.  

Organizers: Regina S Burachik and C Yalçin Kaya, School of Mathematics and Statistics, and Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (CIAM), University of South Australia

Venue: Room RR5-09 (Rowland Rees Building), City West Campus, University of South Australia

The workshop venue is most easily accessible via George Street at the campus (see the City West Campus map and Directions to RR5-09).

Registration:  Registration for this one-day workshop is free.  To register, send an e-mail to yalcin.kaya@unisa.edu.au and provide your Name, Department or School, and Institution.
