The international conference
Forum “Math-for-Industry” (FMfI) 2019: Mathematics for the Primary Industries and the Environment
sponsored by Asia Pacific Consortium of Mathematics for Industry was held at Massey University (Auckland, New Zealand) during November 18th (Mon.) – 21th (Thurs.).

There were 24 oral presentations and 17 poster presentations. A total of 25 people participated from Kyushu University, including the invited speakers, Prof. Toshihiko Takemura (Research Institute of Applied Mechanics), Prof. Takashi Okayasu (Faculty of Agriculture), Prof. Shizuo Kaji (IMI), 7 faculty members of IMI and 13 postgraduate students and postdocs.

Among the poster presentations, the Poster Awards were given to the following six presentations. Each awardee will be given an opportunity for a research visit to a foreign country (for residents in Japan) or IMI (for residents outside Japan).
