KoMSO - Committee for Mathematical Modeling, Simulation and Optimization

THE GERMAN NETWORK FOR MATHEMATICS & INDUSTRY

The Committee for Mathematical Modeling, Simulation and Optimization (KoMSO) is a strategic alliance that was founded in response to the Strategy Day for Mathematics 2020, established by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in 2008. As concluded at the Strategy Day, the great potential of MSO for society as well as competitiveness of industry and economy can be tapped in considerably better ways, such as by specific network activities and new cooperation structures as well as intensified communication and public outreach measures.
Consequently, KoMSO was established in May 2011 within the BMBF program “Mathematics for Innovations in Industry and Services” that has been conducted successfully since 1993, and has influenced the landscape of MSO research lastingly.
The KoMSO Coordination Office connects decentralized networks by region and topic, organizes cooperation and experience exchange as well as makes visible the overall network.
