Abstract
The ICMI/ICIAM-Study on “Educational Interfaces between Mathematics and Industry” (EIMI-Study) starts from two assumptions, namely: (1) There are intimate connections between innovation, science, mathematics and the production and distribution of goods and services in society. In short: there are intimate connections between mathematics and industry; (2) In view of these connections, there is a need for a fundamental analysis and reflection on strategies for the education and training of students and maybe the development of new ones.
