Strategies 1Strategies 1

• Cohesion strengthening – Invigorate interdisciplinary seminars and projects

• Stimulation of research – Scholarships for initiation into research (BII’s and BIC’s)

and for post-doctorate Students (Ciência 2008)– Summer Schools, Conferences and free courses in

cooperation with other research centres.– Continue to promote short term visits (work in in pairs

and mini-courses) and encourage long term visitors

• Greater participation at the national and international level– Continue to develop and to forge stronger links with other

similar national and international research centres

Strategies 2Strategies 2

• Consulting services- GEAC – Statistics and Computational Applications

consulting Office (for academic and extra-academic institutions)

• Stimulation of applied research by partnerships with Industry and services – Study groups in mathematics and industry (ESGI65 - link)– Conference in mathematics and industry (2009)– Cooperation with other research centres in the

constitution of a national structure to implement connections with industry (data basis of old students)

• Advanced short term courses in Mathematics and applications (Finance, modelling, computational applications) – Example: Financial Mathematics (25 h) within the

Continuum formation plan at UP (link)
