Strategies 1
• Cohesion strengthening
– Invigorate interdisciplinary seminars and projects
• Stimulation of research
– Scholarships for initiation into research (BII’s and BIC’s)
and for post-doctorate Students (Ciência 2008)
– Summer Schools, Conferences and free courses in
cooperation with other research centres.
– Continue to promote short term visits (work in in pairs
and mini-courses) and encourage long term visitors
• Greater participation at the national and
international level
– Continue to develop and to forge stronger links with other
similar national and international research centres
Strategies 2
• Consulting services
- GEAC – Statistics and Computational Applications
consulting Office (for academic and extra-academic
institutions)
• Stimulation of applied research by partnerships with Industry
and services
– Study groups in mathematics and industry (ESGI65 - link)
– Conference in mathematics and industry (2009)
– Cooperation with other research centres in the
constitution of a national structure to implement
connections with industry (data basis of old students)
• Advanced short term courses in Mathematics and
applications (Finance, modelling, computational applications)
– Example: Financial Mathematics (25 h) within the
Continuum formation plan at UP (link)
Scientific Activities
• Seminars
• Courses
– Quantum Field Theory free course (with CFP)
