12th Annual

Stokes Modelling Workshop

For Undergraduate Students

University of Galway

18th - 21st May, 2026

The School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at the University of Galway is hosting a 4-day Modelling Workshop for undergraduate students, organised by the Stokes Cluster for Applied Mathematics and the SIAM Student Chapter.

This workshop is primarily aimed at penultimate-year students with a background in science or engineering, although applications are welcome from all interested undergraduates. Participants will engage in team-based modelling of real-world problems, supported by training sessions and small-group study led by lecturers and postgraduate students. The programme also includes tutorials on LaTeX, communication skills, and Python coding, as well as a Q&A session on PhD life and two thematic seminars delivered by international experts.

The registration is free and can be made here before 17:00 (Irish Standard Time) on Thursday 9^th April 2026.

WHAT STUDENTS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS THOUGHT

"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."
