Charter for the SIAM Industry Committee

SIAM is committed to promoting the value of research in applied mathematics and in ensuring the application of high quality research results to solving real world problems in industry.

The SIAM Industry Committee (SIC) advises the SIAM Vice President for Industry on issues related to SIAM products, services, programs and membership of relevance to SIAM’s industrial members. It makes recommendations for the appointment of the next Vice President for Industry. SIAM’s Technical Director serves as the SIAM liaison to the SIC. The SIAM Vice for President for Industry chairs this committee.

It advises the SIAM leadership on the development of new programs and activities that serve the mathematical and computational scientists employed in industry and on career development services for members employed in industry. The committee is also responsible for contributing to the work of other SIAM committees when they are addressing issues of relevance to industry. This includes, for example, SIAM’s Committee on Programs and Conferences, Membership Committee, Education Committee, and the Committee on Science Policy.

The committee helps to promote the visibility of applied mathematics and computational science in the industrial community. It informs SIAM membership of the development and use of the mathematical and computational sciences in industry via SIAM News.
