The Fields Institute Colloquium on Mathematics Outside Mathematics brings scientists, engineers, and mathematicians together. The purpose of the talks is to expose areas of exciting current scientific and engineering inquiry which involve mathematics and which may benefit from further interdisciplinary research.

The colloquium provides a forum for researchers from different fields to interact and use advances in mathematics to establish connections across traditional boundaries in science and engineering.
