We are pleased to announce the European Study Group with Industry, which will take place in the Campus Hannah Arendt at the University of Avignon on 23-27 May 2016. This meeting is part of the series of European Study Groups and will be held for the first time in France. The purpose of this meeting is to strengthen the links between academic community and industries by using mathematical optimization tools to tackle industrial problems. Across a five day workshop, the European Study Group with Industry will bring academic researchers and private companies (or para-governmental bodies) together to work side by side to solve the technical problems that companies are facing today.

This edition will also features daily plenary sessions from both academic researchers and industrials. 

More information on study groups is available at the International Study Groups website and the European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry. This edition of the ESGI in France is supported by AMIES and is part of the program SEME.
