Industrial Mathematics Week

Industrial Mathematics Weeks (IMW) is an annual event organized by the Industrial and Financial Mathematics Research Group. IMW has established itself as a vital bridge connecting academic rigour with real-world industrial challenges.

The Research Group of Industrial and Financial Mathematics (Kelompok Keahlian Matematika Industri dan Keuangan / KK MIK), under the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) at Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), is dedicated to advancing the frontiers of applied mathematics in industry, finance, engineering, and life sciences. By combining rigorous theoretical foundations with real-world applications, KK MIK has established itself as a hub for innovation in mathematical modelling, numerical methods, and computational simulation.

For the 2026 edition, this mission is significantly expanded as the event transforms into a comprehensive series of broad academic activities: an International Summer Course, a Conference Day, and a Public Seminar on Women in Mathematics and Sciences. The event is jointly organized in collaboration with PUI-PT PRISM (Centre of Excellence in Predictive Risk and Simulation Modelling ) and P2MS (Centre of Mathematical Modelling and Simulation), reflecting a shared commitment to advancing research, innovation, and academic excellence.

ABOUT IMW

The Industrial Mathematics Week (IMW) is one of the most prominent initiatives by the Industrial and Financial Mathematics Research Group. It is a flagship program that brings together students, researchers, and industry professionals in an intensive environment of short courses, hands-on workshops, and group modelling sessions. The most recent IMW collaborating with the consulting firm IDSC (Singapore) and academic partners from the University of Warwick, held in June 2025, successfully delivered impactful solutions to real-world problems, including airport security lane planning, financial portfolio optimization, and strategic vector-borne disease control. These achievements not only highlight the versatility of mathematical tools but also demonstrate KK MIK’s capacity to connect mathematics with pressing societal and industrial needs.

To accommodate diverse learning needs, we offer three distinct pathways: an in-person course for participants eager to obtain intensive training in mathematical modelling and industrial problem-solving; an in-virtual course designed for those interested in practicing mathematical methods for industry independently; and an online lecture track for participants who wish to focus specifically on the theoretical insights delivered during the sessions.

Beyond the educational courses, IMW 2026 features a dedicated Conference Day centered on advanced problem-solving in critical sectors, including Mathematical Epidemiology, Control Theory, Fluid Dynamics, and Finance. Additionally, the program highlights a special public seminar on “Women in Mathematics and Sciences,” highlighting the pivotal role of women in scientific and mathematical advancement. Through this extensive range of activities, IMW 2026 aims to showcase the “other side” of mathematics—demonstrating its dynamic power and versatility in addressing the complex demands of the modern industrial world.

There are two main individual programs and one public event. Each participant is allowed to join all programs and event by register individually through https://linktr.ee/IMW2026.

Marking a historic milestone for International Mathematics Week (IMW) 2026, this event proudly presents the inaugural Public Seminar on Women in Mathematics and Sciences. Designed as a platform for reflection, discussion, and academic exchange, the seminar highlights the vital role of women in advancing mathematical and scientific research at both national and global levels.

Held under the theme “The Symmetry of Intelligence”, the seminar moves beyond social narratives to emphasize intellectual substance and scholarly contribution. It explores how diverse perspectives, particularly those of women researchers, are reshaping research methodologies, strengthening analytical frameworks, and driving innovation in mathematical modelling, computation, and algorithmic development.

Bringing together researchers, educators, students, and practitioners, this seminar aims to foster meaningful dialogue on equity, excellence, and collaboration in the sciences. It serves as a call to action for the academic community to bridge the gap between gender and scientific achievement, encourage inclusive research environments, and ensure that the future of mathematics and science is shaped by the full spectrum of human intellect.
