The MATHS-DISC consortium, consisting of five renowned universities from all over Europe, from Portugal to Ukraine, (Università di Verona, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Igor Sikorsky Polytechnic Institute Kiev, Universidade de Lisboa and Université Grenoble Alpes) and the partner university NTNU Trondheim, was successful with its proposal for an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master (EMJM) in Mathematical Modelling, Simulation and Data Science together with more than 20 partners from leading industry and research centers (e. g. Siemens, Intel, Bosch, Bayer, d-fine, uRoboptics, Vodafone Ukraine, IDOM, ENGYS, Otto Bock, DLR, Terranova, NeuronsLab, Computer Solutions SA, Royal IHC, …) from different sectors and from all over Europe.
This novel EMJM will have a total budget of about 5 million Euros and is supported by the European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI) and the European Network of Mathematics for Industry and Innovation (EU-MATHS-IN) to train the PhD students of tomorrow and to establish interdisciplinary networks to share best practices at European level to overcome geographical and scientific fragmentation. Applications should be possible from February 2025. The program is scheduled to start in the winter semester 2025/26. More general information about this prestigious ERASMUS Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) program can be found here.
By the way, the acronym MATHS-DISC symbolizes a circular disc, with each sector representing a different area of applied mathematics: Modeling, Stochastics, Numerical Simulation, Optimization. These traditional areas of mathematics are combined with cutting-edge topics: Machine Learning, Digital Twins, Quantum Computing, etc …
It is precisely this focus and the corresponding expertise of the MATHS-DISC consortium that make our EMJM program truly unique. Stay tuned for updates on the progress of our MATHS-DISC EMJM programme!
