4TU.AMI jointly inspires, stimulates and supports innovative research, mathematics-related education, as well as collaboration, projects and community initiatives. 4TU.AMI is committed to connect the applied mathematics groups of the five universities of Delft, Eindhoven, Groningen, Twente and Wageningen.
Goals
Strengthen research collaboration
There is an increase in demand for applied and advanced mathematical knowledge and expertise in trade, industry and healthcare. We initiate and support Strategic Research Initiatives (SRIs) between the researchers of the aforementioned applied mathematics groups, who can receive up to €10.000 per year per SRI. We also provide funding for writing joint research proposals.
Exchange educational experience
We organise an annual Education Day about university mathematics teaching. Moreover, we facilitate educational projects that benefit university teaching staff, students, secondary school teachers and secondary school pupils.
Facilitate knowledge exchange
We want to strengthen our national and international collaboration with partners in research and industry. By supporting 4TU.AMI researchers to join forces, they are better suited to tackle complex and challenging social, environmental, economic, healthcare and technical issues from a mathematical point of view. We provide financial support for organizing scientific meetings such as workshops, colloquia, mini-symposia and summer schools of up to €5.000 per event.
Encourage community building
In order to bring the 4TU.AMI community closer together and to provide a platform for sharing experiences and inspiring colleagues, we organise an annual Community Event.
4TU.Federation
AMI is one of the centers of the 4TU.Federation, the alliance of the universities of technology in the Netherlands that aims to boost and pool technical expertise.
