| Abstract for Research Report |
In August 2025, the Forum “Math-for-Industry” 2025 (FMfI 2025) was held at the POSCO Center in Seoul, Republic of Korea, jointly organized by the Institute of Mathematics for Industry (IMI), Kyushu University, and the Department of Mathematics, Ajou University, with support from the Asia–Pacific Consortium of Mathematics for Industry (APCMfI), the National Institute for Mathematical Sciences (NIMS), and other partner institutions in the Asia–Pacific region. FMfI 2025 continued the tradition of the Math-for-Industry series, whose mission is to foster collaboration between academic mathematicians and industrial practitioners. Under the theme "Mathematics for Innovation and Sustainability," this forum provided a platform to discuss how advanced mathematical theory and data-driven methodologies can contribute to sustainable technologies, intelligent manufacturing, climate solutions, and AI-powered industrial design. The three-day program featured invited and contributed talks, focused sessions, and a round table discussion on future directions of industrial mathematics in the era of artificial intelligence and global sustainability. Researchers and engineers from universities, research institutes, and companies across Japan, Korea, Australia, Malaysia, and other countries shared case studies demonstrating how mathematical modeling, optimization, and statistical computation can create tangible social and economic value. This volume (or website) contains summaries of the lectures and presentations delivered during the forum. The Organizing Committee expresses sincere appreciation to all speakers, participants, and sponsoring organizations for their contributions to the success of FMfI 2025. We also thank the APCMfI Council and IMI Joint Usage Research Program for their continuous support in promoting international collaboration through mathematics for industry. We hope that the discussions and outcomes of FMfI 2025 will further strengthen the link between mathematics and society and inspire new cooperative research toward sustainable industrial development. |
