HKSIAM Joined ICIAM as a full member in 2021
Hong Kong Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (HKSIAM) is based in Hong Kong and connects the international community of industrial and applied mathematics. HKSIAM is committed to advancing the application of mathematics and computational science to engineering, industry, science, and society; to promoting research that will lead to effective new mathematical and computational methods and techniques for industrial and scientific applications; and to providing platforms for the exchange of information and ideas among mathematicians, engineers, scientists, and other practitioners. Starting from 2018, the institutional members have increased, now including City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and The University of Hong Kong. In 2021, HKSIAM has been accepted to be a full member of ICIAM.
Our main purposes are to promote industrial and applied mathematics in Hong Kong and beyond, to build links between the mathematical community and the industry sector, to promote research on various mathematical problems arisen from economic development and technological advancement, and to coordinate planning for Hong Kong meetings on industrial and applied mathematics. HKSIAM continues to strive for intellectual exchanges and has organized series of important activities amid these difficult times of COVID-19. These include IAS online conference on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (The First Bi-Annual Conference of HKSIAM) on January 2021 and Applied Mathematics Seminars for HKSIAM and Hong Kong Universities starting from 2020. HKSIAM has invited many distinguished scholars from all over the world and representatives from industry to deliver talks on cutting-edge research and industrial applications. These activities not only bring opportunities for young scholars to be exposed to the frontiers of industry and applied mathematics, but also foster collaborations between the researchers in Hong Kong and the world.
