5th Brazilian Study Group with Industry

The objective of the Brazilian Study Group with the Industry, also called “Workshop CeMEAI of Mathematical Solutions for Industrial Problems”, is to promote university-industry interaction, providing benefits from the mathematical sciences to the Brazilian industry. These groups work intensively over a week on specific problems brought to them by industry, commerce and the government sector. Applied mathematicians, statisticians and computer scientists collaborate to solve those problems and a verbal repair is provided as of the end of the week. Where necessary, a written report is provided within three months. These study groups first started at Oxford University during the 60’s. Because of their huge success, they have spread as a regular activity in many countries, for example South Africa, Germany, Australia, Canada, Spain, United States, England, Ireland and Portugal.
