Mathematics for Action: Supporting Decision-Making for a Better Future

AMSI-MATRIX Winter School is an annual two-week event designed for postgraduate students, early-career researchers and industry professionals in the mathematical sciences and related disciplines. Participants expand their skills and knowledge while building collaborative national networks.

The AMSI-MATRIX Winter School 2025 explores how mathematics can drive real-world impact, with a focus on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

This year’s theme, Mathematics for Action: Supporting Decision-Making for a Better Future, examines how optimisation, machine learning and computational methods can address global challenges. Through expert-led workshops, participants will develop the mathematical tools needed to support sustainable decision-making. The academic program will focus on mathematical and computational approaches for optimisation and decision-making, with an emphasis on sustainability. Using UN Sustainability Development Goals as case studies, participants will explore real-world applications of models, algorithms and machine learning to sectors such as healthcare, logistics, urban mobility and resource management.

To maximise the experience, several program extras including social events, specialist lectures, participants talks and activities will complement the academic program to encourage networking and collaboration.
