The problems/challenges to be tackled during the Study Group week are being selected by the Local Organising Committee in consultation with the Scientific Board. We are aiming for challenges from a variety of sectors, and in need of  a variety of mathematical methodologies and approaches. (Companies and other organisations (governmental, NGOs, etc.) can submit their problems/challenges here).

The problems will be presented by a company/organisation representative on the 5th of December 2016 with a 30-minute presentation. More information will be available to the team that will work on each challenge during the Study Group week. Problems already tackled in other Study Groups around the world can be found at the international Study Group website.
