Objectives :

The main objective of the school is to boost the Uruguayan activities within Applied Mathematics, Computational Science and Engineering. This school will serve as a part of an ongoing project for the development of applied mathematics in Uruguay, which focuses among others in Networks, Numerical methods, Biomathematics, Mathematical Finance, Insurance, etc. In particular, we expect that the school will attract and eventually motivate more local students (for instance Bachelors in mathematics, statistics and Engineering) to enroll into an Engineering Mathematics Master program. At the same time, we have plans to establish and enlarge a team of qualified thesis supervisors. This school is closely related to the master program "Ingeniería Matemática", based on the "Instituto de Matemática y Estadística" of the Universidad de la República, Uruguay. The idea is to follow the research directives defined by the "Agencia Nacional de Investigación e Innovación" in the light of the current favourable situation of the country. Accordingly to the mentioned directives, research areas in applied mathematics will mainly focused on topics like : Communication and information theory, Network modeling, Mathematical Finance with applications to Energy Risk Management, Biomathematics, Optimal development of natural resources, etc.
