This new blog column is a space for thoughtful reflection, personal insight, and open dialogue within our community.
We warmly invite you to share your voice. We welcome contributions from across the spectrum of applied and industrial mathematics: biographically coloured thoughts, memories and experiences, reflections on science policy, philosophical perspectives, and both critical and constructive views on the state of research and curriculum development. We are particularly interested in perspectives on opportunities and challenges in international cooperation — within Europe and in partnership with the Global South.
The “Opinion” column is intended as a forum for ideas that inspire, question, and connect. If you would like to contribute, please contact us at opinion_column@ecmi-indmath.org. We very much look forward to your ideas and to shaping this conversation together.
