Scientific Events: Organisation

• MOMI 2019 (Le MOnde des Mathématiques Industrielles) was a two-day workshop on applied and industrial mathematics. The workshop took place on the 25th and 26th of February, 2019 at the Inria Sophia Antipolis-Mediteranée research center with a focus on Big Data and Machine Learning. It was supported and financed by Inria, by the Maison de la Modélisation, de la Simulation et des Interactions – MSI of Université Côte d’Azur, by the Graduate School “Digital Systems for Humans” (EUR project ANR-17-EURE-004 from the “Programme Investissements d’Avenir”), by the Agence pour les Mathématiques en Interaction avec l’Entreprise et la Société (AMIES) and by the companies OLEA Medical, Thales Alenia Space and Wildmoka. In total, 3 keynote speakers, 7 industrial speakers and 90 participants (researchers, PhDs , postdocs and engineers) attended MOMI 2019. Finally, a company fair was organized to promote networking and identify future opportunities and collaborations. Selma Souihel and Evgenia Kartsaki have actively participated to the organizing committee. Their duties involved writing funding proposals, budget handling, communication and traveling arrangements for the keynote speakers, company fair and social event organization.

• E. Kartsaki and S. Souihel are participating to the organization of the PhD Seminars of Inria Sophia Antipolis - Méditerranée, organized and held by PhD candidates every two weeks and aim to share knowledge, and to promote collaborations, all in a friendly and interactive way. Selma Souihel and Evgenia Kartsaki have been members of the organizing committee during the academic year 2018/2019 (Evgenia Kartsaki is still an ongoing member ). Both have been involved in the scheduling, communication and diffusion of the seminars. These tasks include calls for presentations, calendar planning and promotion of each seminar. Finally, they were also involved in the organization of the MOMI 2019 conference.
