The International Seminar on Mathematics in Industry 2024 (ISMI2024), along with the Forum Mathematics for Industry 2024 (FMfI2024), concluded successfully from 9th to 11th September 2024 at the Concorde Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Organized by the UTM Center for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (UTM-CIAM) and the Department of Mathematical Sciences, this event brought together experts and participants from various sectors to discuss the evolving role of mathematics in driving industrial innovation.
The seminar was officially officiated by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Shafinaz Shahir, Dean of the Faculty of Science, UTM, who represented the UTM Vice-Chancellor during the opening ceremony. The event, themed “Mathematical Evolution Guiding Industrial Innovation Futures,” provided a platform for valuable discussions and knowledge exchange between industry and academia.
Key speakers from renowned organizations, including the Asia Pacific Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (APCMfI), the Institute of Mathematics for Industry (IMI) Kyushu University, and the European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI), shared insights on applied mathematical advancements across various industries.
The seminar featured a wide range of topics, including applied mathematics, algebra, analysis, probability theory, stochastic modeling, operational research, and computational mathematics. A special forum was held to address emerging trends and future directions in mathematical sciences.
Participants submitted research papers, which are currently under review for publication in SCOPUS-indexed and ESCI-WoS-indexed journals. Registration was offered in tiered categories for professionals and students, with free APCMfI membership given to the first 50 paid registrants.
The seminar successfully bridged the gap between theoretical research and practical industry applications, fostering impactful collaborations that are expected to contribute significantly to future growth and innovation.
