Forum "Math-for-Industry" 2023 ---MfI 2.0--- (FMfI2023),
organized by the Asia-Pacific Consortium for Mathematics for
Industry (APCMfI), was held at Nishijin Plaza, Kyushu
University, with a total of 124 participants (70 faculty
members; 34 students; 20 others) including 25 participants
from overseas.
The meeting was organized as a satellite meeting of the 10th
International Conference on Industrial Mathematics and
Applied Mathematics (ICIAM2023), which was held in Tokyo the
week before.

This conference is the fifteenth edition, where various
lectures on a wide range of fields related to Mathematics
for Industry.

This year, leading international researchers from the
International Council on Industrial and Applied Mathematics
(ICIAM), the European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry
(ECMI), and the Society for Industrial and Applied
Mathematics (SIAM), the ICIAM's Lagrange Prize winners, as
well as renowned researchers in applied mathematics from
Japan have been invited to give 28 lectures on cutting-edge
research results. The topics included data analysis,
statistics, optimization, geometry, mathematical modeling,
and mathematical logic, varying from personal research to
large scale projects. After each talk, there was a lively
Q&A session that often shortened the break time.

In the poster session, 19 poster presentations were given.
The poster awards were organized to recognize excellent
presentations by students, and the Best Poster Award was
given to IMADA, Rinki (D1, The University of Tokyo), and the
Excellent Poster Award to SASAKI, Hiroki (M2, Kyushu
University), respectively.

In addition, the banquet was held on the evening of the
second day at the Miyamae Geihinkan Toumyoden, next to the
historic Kushida Shrine. Prof. Broadbridge (Professor
Emeritus, La Trobe University), Vice President of APCMfI,
gave the opening address, and all the participants enjoyed
the delicacies of Hakata and deepened their friendship,
while further discussions took place.

At the end of the meeting, it was announced that FMfI2024
will be held in Malaysia next year.
