"Mathematicians set two goals now that we are entering a new millennium. The first is to be able to maintain the traditional strength of our basic research, which is the seedbed of new ideas and new applications. The second is to expand our contact with the world that is beyond Science. Every year that passes, mathematicians are getting more efficient in the work they offer to others and in the task of incorporating others into the world of mathematics". Phillip Griffiths, IAS Princeton.

Contributions to software developments, industrial collaborations:

• Close collaboration with Mathlogic LTD  in benchmarking and possible applications of their implementation of the AAD method (such as in Financial Mathematics, convolutional neural networks, etc.). The company itself is focusing on the development numerical libraries and HPC compilers. In the framework of this collaboration we work with a range of specialists: quantitative analysts, computer science engineers, and academic researchers. Especially, E. Lakshtanov is heavily involved in the development of computational applications and benchmarking of the AAD toolbox. 
• Collaboration with Micron Semiconductors Italia S.r.l on the analysis and computational solution of the Maxwell-Stefan equations. 
• In the framework of collaboration with the Finnish Center of Excellence in Inverse Problems there exist a collaboration with Planmeca Oy, particularly on the topic of extreme resolution tomography.
• Collaboration with GRUPEL S.A. on the topic of inverse problems in nonlinear acoustics and electromagnetism. 
• Software for supporting decisions concerning Multi-objective Mixed-Integer and Integer Programming (MOMIP),
