EMS SUMMER SCHOOLS IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS (ESSAM)

A particular achievement of the EMS Applied Mathematics Committee has been so far the establishment of a series of summer schools in applied mathematics (ESSAM), that are organized yearly under the EMS banner.
Initially there was a school organized by IMPAN in Bedlevo and one organized by CIME  that take place every year. In 2010, a summer school in biomathematics joined ESSAM. It is organized every year by the ESMTB (European Society for Mathematical and Theoretical Biology). A summer school in mathematical finance is organized by the Institut Louis Bachelier. Two new ESSAM schools were created in 2015. In 2016 and 2017, the number of ESSAM was 7 and 4 (see list below). In 2018, there were 3 ESSAM but lot of events were organized within the framework of Year Mathematical Biology. It was then decided by the EMS Applied Mathematics Committee to increase the number of ESSAM : 8 in 2019 and 13 in 2020. The Guidelines from 2010 of this series of summer schools are recalled below.

4. European Summer School in "Modelling, Analysis and Simulation: Crime and Image Processing"

This summer school will combine a traditional research school that introduces the participants to a mathematical topic of current interest with a typical modelling week where they are exposed to a specific real-world case-study problem which they model mathematically during several days of group work. In this summer school we focus on the topics crime and image processing which are attracting a lot of attention both from the point of view of mathematical research as well as from real-world applications, but where both sides are rarely taught together. Two types of techniques will be taught for each topic, one based on partial differential equations (PDEs) and the other on a discrete approach such as networks. These techniques involve data modelling and processing aspects, which are rapidly growing in their importance for industrial and applied mathematics. Case study problems will be chosen to allow for the application and combination of both types of techniques. The intention is to provide the participants with knowledge of multiple approaches and how they can be combined to address complex modelling problems in several application areas. Due to the intensive group supervision requirement in the project phase, the research school is limited to about 30 participants, which will be split into groups for each of the case-studies with 5-6 members. The lectures and practicals will be held entirely as single session events so that the participants get exposed to all application areas and techniques.

Course Directors:  Andreas Muench, Jared Tanner, Gitta Kutyniok, Barbara Wagner.

Lectures:
* Andrea Bertozzi (Department of Mathematics, UCLA, USA)
* Mason Porter (Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, UK)

Former ESSAM Schools 2008-2015

GUIDELINES FOR EMS SCHOOLS IN APPLIED MATHEMATICS (2008)

  1. NN (here, organizing entity) has agreed to organize every year a Summer School in Applied Mathematics in the framework of EMS Schools in Applied Mathematics. The organization (place, format, topic etc.) should be aimed at outlining uniformity and common identity of the Schools of the series. 
  2. EMS agreed to support the School organized in 2008 through its contract with the EU and under the rules of such contract. 
  3. EMS will help NN in fund raising for supporting the Schools that will be planned and organized for the years to come. 
  4. Participation of young researchers from European and Mediterranean countries will be stimulated and whenever possible and needed- supported. 
  5. NN agrees that the planning of future Schools will be done in cooperation with EMS, through a contact person that will be indicated by the EC of EMS. 
  6. EMS and NN consider as a priority the goal that the Schools keep a high scientific level and focus on topics of relevant impact. 
  7. All information concerning the Schools should include the EMS logo and indicate that they are organized by NN in the series of EMS Schools in Applied Mathematics. The above applies to the publications possibly originated by the School (lecture notes, proceedings). 
  8. EMS will devote particular attention in promoting the Schools through its publications and in helping dissemination of the relevant information. 
  9. NN will provide EMS with a report on each School of the series.


    10. The program committees of the organizing institutions usually incorporate a representative of the EMS Applied Mathematics committee for the planning of future schools and to certify their scientific level and the fulfilment of the EMS requirements. One of the achievements of the Applied Mathematics committee so far has been the establishment of European Summer Schools in Applied Mathematics (ESSAM), organized on a permanent basis in the framework of EMS.
