Mini-MISG 2021!

~~MISG 2021 cancelled, MISG 2022 on the horizon~~

Instead of cancelling MISG 2021, we will run a smaller, one-project, version of the MISG:

Mini-MISG 2021

Project title: Mathematical Modelling of Pneumatic Conveying. This project has come from industry partners of the University of Newcastle.

Moderators: A/Prof Mike Meylan, Dr Ognjen Orozovic and Mr Edward Bissaker

The workshop will be held from Wednesday 27th to Saturday 30th January, 2021, in NuSpace, the University of Newcastle’s City Campus. A Zoom link will be provided for those who cannot travel to Newcastle.

Registration is free and is now open: please click here to visit the event page on Eventbrite.

In the meantime, please feel free to contact us (misg@newcastle.edu.au) if you have any queries.

Report: “Study groups with industry: what is the value?”

A report by Martine Barons, Chris Budd OBE, Joanna Jordan and Matt Butcher entitled “Study groups with industry: what is the value?” describes how workshops like MISG work and what industry and academics who attend them are hoping to achieve. It presents three case studies from past study groups and describes their direct outcomes (such as publications and jobs for PhD students). The report makes interesting reading and might help to demystify MISG if you have never attended before.
