| The Division of Engineering and Applied Science at Harvard University will be holding its first Harvard-Oxford Industrial Math Workshop on January 7-10, 2007.
The purpose of this workshop is to help researchers in industry solve real technical problems while developing links between them and university faculty, which could result in new research paths, collaborations and shared experiences.
The workshop will be an exchange between industry and academia with three days dedicated to the intensive study of unsolved problems derived from practice.
This event is open to all faculty and students. To attend, you must RSVP to: Jennifer Casasanto j_casasanto@deas.harvard.edu or 617-495-1244. Please include your name, title and contact information.
