Registrations open for the XII Iberian Modeling Week

The XII Iberian Modeling Week (IMW) will take place at the Department of Mathematics of the NOVA Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Campus da Caparica, from June 15th to June 19th 2026. In the spirit of the previous editions, it is designed to introduce undergraduate, master’s, and PhD students to industrial mathematics through hands-on, real-world problem solving. Students from both countries collaborate in multidisciplinary teams to tackle challenges proposed by partner companies. Throughout the programme, they are guided by dedicated mentors from both academia and industry. This year, the problems are expected to come from fields such as mobility, optimization, and pharmaceuticals.

A very interesting account of last year's edition has been produced by its host institution, the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica:
