MATHS-DISC - Mathematical Modelling, Simulation and Data Science
for Industrial and Societal Challenges"

financed by the EU, within the call ERASMUS-EDU-2024-PEX-EMJM-MOB
(01/2025-12/2031)

Strategic and Educational Aims

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, collaborates 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.

European industry must lead the digital and green transformation. By prioritizing worker well-being and harnessing new technologies, it can drive sustainable, human-centered growth. This aligns with the EU's focus on a people-centered economy, a green deal, and a digital Europe. Mathematics is fundamental to this transformation, providing a rigorous framework for understanding and solving complex problems. It's essential for AI development, material design, process optimization, and data analysis. As the world becomes increasingly data-driven, mathematics' importance will only grow.

Key areas where mathematics plays a crucial role:

A solid mathematical foundation is essential for any advanced economy. It correlates with competitiveness and higher living standards. In the era of computational science, big data, AI, statistics and business analytics, the societal importance of the mathematical sciences is set to increase. The EU's recent introduction of the Artificial Intelligence Act underscores the influential role of AI in economic and societal development. Improved algorithms, not just improved machines, will be crucial as computing advances. Mathematics is emerging as a key factor in improving the performance, reliability, and robustness of AI algorithms.

Mathematics is a critical tool for the challenges of Industry/Society 5.0. In the future, it will play an increasingly important role in developing innovative solutions for a more sustainable, prosperous, and equitable future.

Note2: The acronym MATHS-DISC symbolises a circular disc whose sectors stand for the various fields of applied mathematics: modelling, stochastics, numerical simulation and optimisation. In our EMJM programme, these traditional fields of mathematics are closely interlinked with current issues such as machine learning, digital twins and quantum computing, in line with the MSODE approach (Modelling, Simulation and Optimisation in Data-rich Environments). It is precisely this focus and the corresponding expertise of the MATHS-DISC consortium that makes this EMJM programme unique.
