The program supports several seminar series (some joint
with MITACS),occasional workshops, courses and talks,
and the Fields-MITACS Industrial Problem-Solving Workshop
(FMIPW), which takes place at Fields in even-numbered
years.
In 1999, Fields began a program to foster start-up
companies that commercialize mathematical ideas and
that can benefit from co-location at the Fields Institute.
Companies are approved by the Fields Board on recommendation
by the IAB. The goal of the program is to enable members
of the Fields community to start business ventures by
giving them access to the physical, intellectual and
logistical resources of the Institute.
In 2008, one of the first start-up companies in this
program, Sigma Analysis and Management, graduated from
the program and moved off-campus, attaining the designation
of a "senior" firm. More information about
this program can be obtained by contacting the Director
at director@fields.utoronto.ca
