Study Groups with Industry are an internationally recognized highlight of UK applied mathematics. They have been held annually in the UK for over 40 years, and provide a forum for industrialists to work alongside established academic mathematicians, postdoctoral researchers and postgraduate students on problems of direct industrial importance.

The success of the Study Groups' unique format, using problems presented by industry as the basis for mathematical research, is shown by the extent to which it has been copied around the world. Study Groups are now also held annually in the USA, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, China and Australia. As Denmark and the Netherlands have embraced the Study Group format, the UK events have become the central component of a wider European series.

The Mathematics in Industry Information Service is a wider electronic archive of reports from international Study Groups and also contains dates for future events.
