Introduction

This initiative brings together mathematicians and industry professionals to address pressing real-world challenges in water management through advanced mathematical approaches. It aims to foster innovation by creating a direct and effective bridge between academic expertise and industrial and societal needs in the water sector.

The event is structured as an intensive, week-long workshop in which multidisciplinary teams of mathematicians (ranging from graduate students to experienced researchers) work collaboratively on problems proposed by industry and institutional partners. The immersive format encourages rapid problem analysis, mathematical modelling, and the development of practical, implementable solutions. Specifically, the event will feature three problem statements.

The challenges will focus on key aspects of water management, including infrastructure optimisation, and decision support for policy and operations. Working under the joint guidance of industry and academic researchers, each group will apply advanced mathematical methods to tackle concrete, real-world challenges in water management. Beyond immediate problem solving, the initiative seeks to stimulate long-term collaboration, knowledge transfer, and the emergence of new research directions with tangible impact in the water sector.
