Study Groups are intense week-long, collaborative workshops focused on problem-solving, offering an interesting opportunity for interaction among mathematicians, scientists, and industrial professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"line-height:2\">A restricted quantity of challenges put forth by companies will be chosen by the scientific committee for resolution during ESGI 196. On the inaugural day of this event, academic participants will assign themselves to a working group, each of which will collaborate with an industrial partner on a specific challenge throughout the week. On the final day, each group will present the primary findings and propose routes for future research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-d2ca7aa4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-column-is-layout-186d3446 wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"line-height:2\">A few weeks after the study group, a technical report detailing the contributions of each group will be dispatched to the respective industrial partner.
