Mathematical sciences and economic development
AMSI was established in 2002 with funding from the Victorian Department
of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development. This support arose
out of the recognition of the importance of the mathematical sciences to
economic development.
AMSI Industry Internship Program
Call for Expressions of Interest
Industry Forums
AMSI/MASCOS Industry
Forums extol the benefits of using the mathematical sciences to
potential users and aim to facilitate links between mathematical scientists
and industry. Each day-long forum has a thematic or sectoral
focus.
Funding
AMSI in association with the Australian Research Council
(ARC) Centre of Excellence for Mathematics and Statistics of Complex
Systems (MASCOS) seeks to identify industry needs and opportunities
that can be addressed using the mathematical sciences. See the funding page
for further information.
Corporate membership
Businesses and government organisations can now join universities in being supporting members of AMSI. The options and benefits are set out here.
Projects
AMSI and MASCOS support a range of industry projects usually conducted through member institutions with industry partners. Industry projects aim to produce clear benefits to industry, a financial benefit to AMSI/MASCOS and whenever possible, publications for member participants. Projects supported to date involved financial risk management, occupational health and safety, logistics, optimal design, and analysis of customer perception data. AMSI offers project management services on joint ARC Industry Linkage projects.

- security
- healthcare
- bioinformatics,
- optimisation
- financial mathematics and
- risk and resource management
- data interpretation
- survey design.
