Irish Applied Mathematics Research Students' Meeting

organised by the NUI Galway SIAM Student Chapter

11th of December 2014

Library Seminar Room, Hardiman Building


This one day conference was organised by the newly formed SIAM student chapter in Galway and was the first of its kind in the Republic of Ireland. The aim of the conference was to bring together research students from different universities, giving them the chance to broaden their horizons and see what other students in their research area are working on. The event was generously supported by SIAM, the Stokes Cluster of the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Applied Mathematics at NUI Galway and the Complex Systems Research Centre.
