About:

The Modelling Camp aimed to:

• Train students and early career mathematical science researchers to engage in study groups and similar activities
• Offer essential skills training - team-work, coping outside of one's comfort zone, introduction to modelling methodology, report writing, communication, and presentation skills
• Discover how different branches of mathematics can be applied in various industrial settings

The ICMS and MAC-MIGS Modelling Camp was structured to maximise time for networking and informal discussions. We are delighted that the 2023 event was held in-person in Edinburgh.

Participation:

Participation in a modelling camp is excellent preparation for Study Groups. European Study Groups with Industry are events across Europe. There is an annual ESGI in the UK.
