University of Warsaw ICM Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical

University of Warsaw ICM Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling http: //www. icm. edu. pl/

icm: mission Harmonised combination: • interdisciplinary research in: – computational sciences, – mathematical modelling methods and applications • e-infrastructures and services: -End Computing facility available for research by any Polish project (http: //www. icm. edu. pl/ ), • graduate education (Ph. D programs), • promotion of science High

icm: prospects • transformation into: – centre of new technology solutions – centre of interdisciplinary research for new technology – centre of interdisciplinary education for information society • key applied research areas: – applied bioinformatics – new functional materials – bionanomaterials – solutions for biomedical applications – solutions for biotechnology – natural environment monitoring – process modelling and optimization for complex systems (structure, scales, topology, geometry)

icm: research in mathematical modelling • Concept: combination of modelling, numerical simulation and experimental validation • Strong collaborative attitude, but in addition own experimental labs • Large-scale data analysis, processing and storage lab (in founding) • Samples to be presented tomorrow

icm: research collaborations • numerous projects within EU programs, mostly in ICT and environment areas • strong German collaboration links (MATHEON, IWR) • industry contracted research (selection): – food manufacturing: chocolate making – airline industry: operational network planning, management and stabilization – airports: operational planning – environment: wind energy, monitoring

icm: graduate education • joint Graduate College with IWR, University of Heidelberg: „Complex processes: modelling, simulation and optimization” (founded 2001) • access to the new graduate school for interdisciplinary research oriented towards new technology, University of Warsaw (Ce. NT, Centre for New Technology)

icm: services for mathematical community • Polish Mathematical Publications archive (nearly complete up to year 2000) • indexing work still in progress (need for collaboration) • http: //vls. icm. edu. pl/

icm: some future plans • strong links to Ce. NT, Centre for New Technology at the University of Warsaw • contribution to Polish and European platforms for knowledge resources and scientific communication
