As a first step to take forward the new work, a workshop was organised on 25 and 26 March 2009 to take stock of the current state of multinational S&T co-operation and the existing frameworks and governance approaches, meanwhile exploring promising new approaches and opportunities for enhanced co-operation and governance.

This compendium of noteworthy mathematics-in-industry projects and programmes is an addendum to the June 2008 Report on Mathematics in Industry. It was prepared by an Experts Group, some of whose members were appointed by GSF delegates while others had participated in the earlier activity. The new material should be a useful, practical reference regarding options available to those (in industry, academia, or government) who wish to strengthen the links between academic mathematics and industry. This catalogue is not complete, and material may be added in the future.
