ESGI (European Study Group with Industry) is Europe's leading workshop bringing together 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 SDU.
Companies submit mathematical problems for the study group to solve; often in the form of a modelling or an optimization problem. Participants work in groups around each problem, presenting the results of their efforts to industry at the end of the week. A written report on each problem is drawn up and presented to the companies.
Partaking companies pay a fee for submitting a problem.
There is no participation fee for academics and Ph.D. students.
Registration is done by email to the organisers.
In 2021, due to the pandemic situation, a large part of the workshop will be carried out on-line.
Associated with the study group, is a Ph.D. course:
Applied Mathematics in Industry (02940).
This 5 ECTS course includes participation in the study group,
and begins four days before the 'regular' study group
with three 1-day lecture courses in various topics.
In 2021, the ph.d. course days will be
August 12, 13, and 14. The course will be conducted at DTU, Kgs. Lyngby.
