Can social issues be solved by mathematical science!? - Mathematical Research in Corporations

Continuing from the previous fiscal year, we will be hosting a symposium exploring the potential of solving societal issues through mathematical science research. In the past two years, the themes were "Attempts and Challenges" and "Connecting Corporate Issues and Mathematical Sciences." This year, we will focus on concrete examples under the title "Mathematical Research in Corporations" with the aim of introducing activities utilizing mathematics in the corporate sector.

Currently, we are inviting speakers with diverse backgrounds, including researchers actively engaged in mathematical activities within corporations or those who have transitioned from corporate mathematical research to academic settings. We are particularly interested in learning about the experiences of individuals who have used mathematics in corporate settings.

Additionally, there has been a growing trend in connecting activities of graduate students in mathematics with corporate endeavors. By sharing such initiatives with participants, we plan to conduct a panel session for exchanging opinions on the role of mathematical science in addressing societal issues through corporate collaboration in the future.

We sincerely look forward to the active participation of corporate researchers and mathematicians who have an interest in these activities.
