Dear students, we cordially invite applications for the 2016 G-RIPS program, jointly organized by Zuse Institut Berlin, Freie Universität Berlin, Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (LA, USA) and the Research Campus MODAL Berlin. Deadline for application is 15 April 2016. For more information and application, please see below ([2]) and visit the project website: http://www.forschungscampus-modal.de/grips Organizers: * Prof. Dr. Christof Schütte (ZIB, FU Berlin) * Prof. Dr. Thorsten Koch (ZIB, TU Berlin) * Prof. Dr. Ralf Borndörfer (ZIB, FU Berlin) * Dr. Stefan Zachow (ZIB) * Prof. Dr. Tim Conrad (ZIB, FU Berlin) * Prof. Dr. Christian Ratsch (IPAM, UCLA) Kind regards, Tim Conrad (on behalf of the organizing team) [1]: http://www.forschungscampus-modal.de/images/grips-2016_poster.pdf [2]: The Graduate-Level Research in Industrial Projects (G-RIPS) Program provides an opportunity for high-achieving graduate-level students to work in teams on a real-world research project proposed by a sponsor from industry or the public sector. Each G-RIPS team is comprised of four international students (two from the US and two from European universities), an academic mentor, and an industrial sponsor. The research problem is always a real problem of serious interest to the sponsor and that offers a stimulating challenge to students. Most of these projects involve both analytic and computational work. The students, with direction from their academic mentor and industrial sponsor, will learn about the problem, master the latest analytical and computational approaches and techniques to solve it. At the end of the program, the teams will present the results of their work and prepare a final report. English is the only language required for participation. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof. Dr. Tim Conrad Head of Medical Bioinformatics Group Head of MODAL Med:Lab Institute of Mathematics Freie Universitaet Berlin Arnimallee 6, D-14195 Berlin http://www.medicalbioinformatics.de/ Phone: +49-30-838 51445 Secr.: +49-30-838 75367
