The MATHFSS Project |

Main Topics
The MATHFSS project is a NEST SUPPORT action aiming to stimulate interaction between advanced research workers in key areas where Mathematics will have a newly prominent role in science and society. The project will explore ways of training doctoral-level researchers in the application of mathematical approaches to emerging areas in the following topics:
Objectives
Designing curricula for doctoral studies into emerging specialties of Mathematics linked especially with systems biology, neuroscience, risk assessment, and digital content security.
Identifying future research opportunities on the interface between Mathematics and suitable areas of Medicine and Social Sciences, by means of specialised training seminars in which the participation of young researchers will be sought.
Promoting the collaboration of several European research centres on Mathematics into a joint multidisciplinary effort to draw up innovative research programmes.
Foster the exchange of information, resources and needs between researchers in pure and applied Mathematics and targeted users from industry, related especially to the four main topics of the project, by means of participation at round tables, mailing of information and personal interviews.
Facilitate contacts between the working mathematical community and scientific policy makers from member states and from the European Union itself, by means of reports about the achievements of this project.
Ensure an effective and widespread dissemination of the information gathered by the participants during the period 2005-2007 about the development and prospects of the chosen emerging disciplines, through the Internet, at broadly advertised public events, and by means of a final book of conclusions.
