Forum "Math-for-Industry" (FMfI 2026)

The International Academic Conference: Forum "Math-for-Industry" (FMfI 2026) is an international scientific forum that brings together mathematicians, engineers, scientists, researchers, academicians, research scholars, and industry professionals from around the world. The conference aims to provide a distinguished platform for presenting recent advances in mathematics, engineering, intelligent computing, artificial intelligence, mathematical modelling, computational science, and interdisciplinary applications.

Following the success of previous international conferences and academic activities, FMfI 2026 is organized with the aim of strengthening international academic cooperation, expanding research networks, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, and creating new opportunities for knowledge exchange among researchers from different countries and disciplines.

The conference will provide a stimulating and welcoming environment in which participants can present their latest research findings, exchange ideas, discuss emerging scientific challenges, and explore new directions for collaborative research. Particular attention will be given to the integration of mathematical sciences, engineering, artificial intelligence, intelligent computing, and data-driven technologies to address complex problems in science, technology, industry, and society.

Applications of mathematics in industry, finance, health, the environment, and policy decision-making play an extremely important role in today's complex and data-driven world. The international conference "Math-for-Industry" (FMfI), held under the Asia-Pacific Consortium for Mathematics for Industry (APCMfI) network, is an important forum that connects academics, researchers, industry, and policymakers in the Asia-Pacific region. This conference will help enhance Thailand's role in the international academic arena, strengthening research cooperation and knowledge transfer to the industrial sector. The purpose of the event is to link mathematics research with business and industry, in line with the Thailand 4.0 policy — Thailand's economic development policy vision based on the vision of "Stability, Prosperity and Sustainability".

In 2026, Thailand was honored to host FMfI 2026 with King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang as the main host, in collaboration with the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Mahidol University, and the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Kasetsart University. Moreover, the country's leading universities — namely King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi, King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok, Burapha University, Chiang Mai University, Silpakorn University, and many other universities in the network of industrial mathematics research groups — are taking part. This reflects the strength of Thailand's network of applied and industrial mathematics at the national and international levels, providing a strong academic foundation for promoting international cooperation in mathematics, engineering, computational sciences, and emerging intelligent technologies. The event is expected to attract participants from universities, research institutions, industries, and professional organizations worldwide.

Journal: Communications in Mathematics and Applications (CMA)

The Forum "Math-for-Industry" (FMfI 2026) is pleased to announce a proposed Special Issue in Communications in Mathematics and Applications (CMA) titled “Emerging Trends in Mathematical Sciences and Their Applications to Industry, Technology, and Complex Systems.” The special issue is intended to bring together high-quality original research arising from the FMfI 2026 conference, with a particular emphasis on recent developments in mathematical sciences and their applications to industrial, technological, computational, and complex real-world problems. CMA is an international journal publishing original and high-quality research in Pure and Applied Mathematics.
