The Hague will showcase its numerical dexterity when it hosts 3,500 mathematicians.
The city, in The Netherlands, has been chosen to host the quadrennial International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM), which is scheduled to be held 12-16 July 2027.
The Netherlands is a leader in the field of industrial mathematics, due to a significant number of research laboratories and international organisations spread across the country.
Additionally, the Netherlands hosts many of the European Industrial Doctorates programmes related to industrial mathematics, making The Hague the ideal location for ICIAM 2027.
Professor Kees Vuik from the Delft University of Technology and the Delf Institute of Applied Mathematics said: “The transfer of knowledge and expertise between the applied mathematics and the industrial community is one of our priorities given the presence of a strong network within Europe. I am therefore excited that the board has decided to organise ICIAM 2027 in The Netherlands. This congress will give another boost to the industrial and applied mathematics community both here and across Europe.”
Bas Schot, from The Hague Convention Bureau, added: “This is another opportunity for us to demonstrate our position as world leader in the delivery of international congresses and events. As a global hub for research, industry, and mathematics we are perfectly placed to deliver not just the congress but also the wider support from our partners and local stakeholders, all of which make up The Hague’s incredibly powerful knowledge economy.”
The event is organised by The International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics - the worldwide organisation for professional applied mathematics societies, as well as others with a significant interest in industrial or applied mathematics. The scientific programme will cover a comprehensive range of applied mathematical topics, highlighting the most recent advances in the discipline and demonstrating their applicability to science, engineering and industry.
