94th EUROPEAN STUDY GROUP
with INDUSTRY
ESGI (European Study Group with
Industry) is Europe's leading workshop bringing together academic
mathematicians and industrial companies. These week-long workshops have
been held annually since 1968 and were previously known as the Oxford
Study Groups with Industry, where they attracted leading mathematicians
to work on industrial problems. In Denmark these workshops are conducted
alternately at DTU and at SDU.
Companies bring to the Study Group mathematical questions
they would like to have solved, often in the form of a modelling problem
or an optimization issue. The mathematicians
work in groups around each problem, presenting at the end
of the week to the companies the result of their efforts, and afterwards a written report.

- In connection with the study group, there is a Ph.D. course: Modern
Methods in Industrial Mathematics . This 5 ECTS course include
participation in the study group, and begins four days before the 'regular' study group
with lectures and course work, i.e. the course runs August 15-23. NB: Registration deadline: July 8., 2013.
The 1-day lecture courses this year will be by:
- Poul G. Hjorth (DTU Lyngby): Elements of Hamiltonian Mechanics
- Cameron Hall (Oxford): The Power of the Small: A Short Introduction to Perturbation Methods
- Daniel Simpson (NTNU): Bayesian Inverse Problems
- ESGI94 Problems
- ESGI week overview
Problem areas previously studied have included mechanics, heat and mass transfer, fluid flow,
financial derivative pricing and processes, granular materials, electric fields,
geometry, and topics in operational analysis, but there are in principle no
limitations in the types of mathematics brought to bear in these workshops.
Among the Danish companies who have participated in previous Study
Groups are LEGO, Novo Nordisk, Danfoss, Grundfos, DSB, DONG, Danske Bank, and many others.
