Collaborative Research with Academic Institutes

• Interaction with Foreign Universities

Professor Mohan C Joshi visited University of Kaiserslautern, Germany and University of Twente, Netherlands during May-June, 1999 to explore the possibility of collaborative research programmes between IMG, Bombay and these universities. Both institutions are receptive to the idea of collaborative programmes and efforts are on progress to come up with a joint programme.

                It may be mentioned that University of Kaiserslautern has a very strong group on Industrial Mathematics and is one of the  core universities among European Consortium on Mathematics for Industry
( ECMI). A linkage with ECMI will not only help IMG in generating solutions for industry based  problems but might also lead to new academic programmes involving both institutions-IIT Bombay and ECMI Universities.

Generation of Possible Research Projects

EU-Asia Research Projects a joint project entitled `Strengthening the Application of Mathematics in Industry and Society' was generated  in collaboration with University Twenty (Netherlands), University of  Kaiserslautern (Germany), and Institut Teknologi Bandung (Indonesia).

• The main  objectives of this proposal are:

  To start cooperation between the leading research institutes in Europe and Asia in contact with industry and society.
• To work in the frontier areas of science and technological developments through management of mathematical knowledge.
• To provide expert services in the areas of Modeling & Simulation, optimization & Control, Scientific Computing, and Industrial Statistics for specific industrial and technological questions.
• To train scientists and engineers in the realm of industrial mathematics for technical competence and human resource development.
