AI & Companies Week 2021

The Concept

AI & Companies Week or MSGI (Mathematics Study Groups with Industry) aims to foster interaction between industry and academia through a week-long workshop focusing on problems raised by industry that require innovative mathematical approaches.

On the first day, the industrial partners present and discuss the problems. Groups of 4 to 6 young researchers (doctoral and poѕt-doctoral students, or even pre-doctoral students) then work on them throughout the week. On the last day, they give an oral presentation of the results achieved in the presence of the industrial partners. Each group may receive additional support from more experienced researchers, but retain complete freedom in the leadership of their work.

In the months that follow, they prepare a report and make it available to the public.

 

The topics

Each industrial participant in MSGI proposes a study topic for a group of four to five young researchers. This topic must be non-academic and for which innovative solutions are expected. The organizers of the MSGI are available to discuss the topics upstream in order to best adjust them to the objectives, in order to ensure reasonable perspectives to the work that will be carried out and effective supervision during the week. From a logistical point of view, the presence of a representative of the industrial partner is necessary the first half day of the MSGI (Monday morning) in order to be able to introduce himself, introduce the subject and meet the group that will work on it. The presence is also necessary another half day, on the last day of the MSGI (Friday morning) to attend the restitution of the work and make a review. It is also desirable that a person remain reachable during the week in case a discussion about the subject is necessary.
