Centre for Quantitative Analysis and Modelling
The Fields Centre for Quantitative Analysis and Modelling (Fields CQAM) was created in response to the need for a critical mass of highly-skilled quantitative scientists capable of deploying the cutting-edge techniques and methodologies required to advance discovery in Ontario’s booming technological sector. A network of eleven research and training laboratories based across the province, Fields CQAM bridges the gap between academia and industry. Leveraging research collaborations with industry partners, Fields CQAM researchers solve real-world problems in science and technology while training the next generation of innovators.
Our strategy encompasses three central tenets: a network of research and training labs, a startup incubator, and a program of scientific activities. Each of these cornerstones is designed to maximize the transfer of highly-skilled personnel and intellectual property from our network into the industrial sector, boosting the provinces’ economy. From strengthening Ontario’s capacity for rapid response to emerging public health issues using mathematical modelling, to placing Fields CQAM trainees into industrial internships, to providing training courses to practicioners already in the workforce, Fields CQAM is working to position Ontario as an international leader in the knowledge economy.

Call For Fields CQAM Activities
Fields has a long history of innovative and visionary programming that promotes collaboration and drives forward research in the mathematical sciences. Fields CQAM continues on in this tradition, hosting programming that brings together the best and brightest minds from the academic and industrial sectors. Our activities are multidimensional, extending across academic disciplines and industrial sectors. Programs span from short courses designed for supplementing the knowledge of those already in the workforce to longer programs focused on more advanced methods.
Fields CQAM is pleased to announce our call for scientific activities for the 2019-2020 academic year.
Fields CQAM activities consist of a period of one day to one month of concentrated scientific activity that focuses on the use of mathematical sciences (including computer science and statistics) to solve applied problems in science and technology. Our activities include opportunities for involvement of young scientists, graduate students, and industry practicioners, and aim to maximize the involvement of individuals from underrepresented groups in the mathematical sciences. Fields CQAM activities may be in the form of workshops, seminars, lectures, conferences, summer schools, and industry training opportunities.
For the 2019 - 2020 year, Fields-CQAM is only seeking proposals for activities that provide graduate training - including boot camps, mini-courses, graduate courses, summer schools, etc. - or for Industrial Problem Solving Workshops. Currently we have no firm deadline for submissions of Fields CQAM activities - proposals will be considered on a rolling basis until all resources and funding have been allocated.
To learn more and to apply, please visit the Fields CQAM webpage.
