The School of Mathematics, Statistics and Applied Mathematics at NUI Galway hosted a free four day undergraduate modelling workshop from June 15th to 18th 2015. The format was loosely based on the Mathematical Contest in Modelling, with training and small group study sessions provided by lecturers and postgraduate students of the School of Mathematics.
The workshop is featured in the October 2015 issue of the SIAM-UKIE Newsletter.

"A great chance to meet students from other courses and other colleges. It was interesting to see their approaches to the problem and to learn from them. It was also great to chat to the mentor as he taught us a lot."
"Interesting and relevant range of projects available, with variety of skills/abilities catered for."
"It offered an opportunity to study problems in a relatively independent environment."
"The free lunch and coffee were really appreciated! The best part was the opportunity to do the problems our own way with programming etc, playing to our own skill set."
The problem statements are available here. The results from each group are outlined in their slides given below.
