The new industry era

We are a European Network specialized in industrial mathematics, driven by almost 400 research centers and more than 9,000 researchers with the aim of promoting innovation in companies and industry.

The network

The EU-MATHS-IN network is composed of national networks across Europe and European organizations that share a common set of objectives towards developing the interface between mathematics and industry.

The expertise

We deliver results to the demands of industry, providing added value and being a driving force for innovation. We solve companies’ challenges/problems through customised models based on mathematical technologies.

The tool

OpenDesk, a window to connect companies with industrial mathematics offers any company the possibility of submitting its innovation needs that can be solved by Modelling Simulation and Optimization technologies in a Data-rich Environment (MSO-DE).

Success Stories Book

To show the great potential that MSO-DE technologies have already shown in industry, you can browse through these pages with almost fifty success stories of Academy-Industry collaboration.

Strategic Research Agenda

The road mapping of the European Mathematical technology research is the main aim of our Association and the EU-MATHS-IN Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) is our key deliverable.

The Transcontinuum Initiative

The TCI is developing a vision of the characteristics of the infrastructure required for the convergence of data and compute capabilities in many leading-edge industrial and scientific use scenarios.

ABOUT MSO-DE TECHNOLOGIES

Modeling, Simulation & Optimization (MSO) remain the cornerstone for the development of most products in the fields of industry.

Testimonials and cases

  • The role of industrial mathematics and mathematics is huge … many of the challenges or opportunities which companies have are particularly complex. Companies require mathematical technologies capable of considering different options to make decisions once the risks of different scenarios have been assessed.
    — (On the occasion of the OpenDesk kick-off)
    Mervi Karikorpi
    Head of EU Innovation and Industrial Policies. Technology Industries of Finland
  • A glance on the involvement of Mathematics in the projects we are currently supporting under the pathfinder initiative, and even in the previous programme under the Future Emerging Technologies, show that approximately one third of the projects involves modelling, optimisation, analytics, applied mathematics...

    Júlio Rodrigues
    Executive Board Member. Chief Corporate Officer. NORS Group, Portugal
  • Research in mathematics plays a crucial role on the technological progress but it is essential for socioeconomic progress as well.

    Diego Vizcaino Delgado
    Managing Partner of Applied Economics area. Afi, Spain
  • The economic contribution of mathematical sciences represents around 30% of Dutch national income, with similar figures in the UK, France, and Spain.
    Wil Schilders
    Former president of EU-MATHS-IN
  • The TransContinuum Initiative has the ambition to bring global solutions encompassing a number of digital technologies with the aim to support any digital use cases and to offer a ‘single door’ to any vertical sector. The 5G IA fully supports this goal and approach and is, therefore, a partner of the TransContinuum Initiative. Digital infrastructures are one of the main pillars of the Digital Economy and our sector has to work together with other domains to maximise impact on the benefit of the economy and society at large

  • You take no notice of it when it’s there − if it wasn’t, you’d realize you cannot do without it.
    Lex Schrijver
    CWI, Amterdam
  • We live in an era of mathematics. Its influence permeates economic and social activity and its influence and impact are profound. Yet its role is not well understood, we are not using it as well as we could and should, and we are investing too little. We are delighted to be on board the TransContinuum Initiative where, together with the other seven associations, we can work on strengthening the role of Europe in mathematical modeling and algorithms as well as the HPC, IA, and Data area using mathematics as a key enabling technology.
    Wil Schilders
    Former president of EU-MATHS-IN
  • The 21st century is the Era of Mathematics: The mathematical sciences deliver significant social and economic impact in Europe.

  • We are delighted that the collaborative work initiated with five other associations to prepare the latest edition of our Strategic Research Agenda now lives on and develops into the TransContinuum Initiative. This is a first step towards the necessary synchronisation of European efforts across domains
