Manuel Cruz is Professor at the Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto and coordinator of the Mathematical Engineering Laboratory at the same institution. He was elected President of the Portuguese Mathematics Network for Industry and Innovation in 2016, and member of the European Service Network of Mathematics for Industry and Innovation executive board in 2019. He has a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Porto and has participated in several challenges of technology transfer from Mathematics to Industry.



Peregrina Quintela is president of Spanish Network for Mathematics & Industry, director of the Technological Institute for Industrial Mathematics and member of the European Service Network of Mathematics for Industry and Innovation Executive Board. She holds two PhDs in Mathematical Sciences from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and from Université Pierre et Marie Curie. She is Full Professor at Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, specialized in modelling and simulation of industrial challenges.



Carlos Parés is Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Málaga (Spain). He is a specialist in numerical methods for nonlinear hyperbolic systems of Partial Differential Equations. He promoted the  creation and the development of the group of research EDANYA which is nowadays an international reference in the simulation of geophysical flows. He was among the promoters of the Spanish Network for Mathematics & Industry and he was member of its Managing Board from 2011 to 2019.
