What is QANZIAM?

QANZIAM is the Queensland branch of ANZIAM (Australian and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics), a division of the Australian Mathematical Society.

We have a special focus on supporting HDR students. We bring students together with academics and industry practitioners who share a passion for applying mathematics to real-world problems. From fluid dynamics to data science, mathematical biology to operations research, our members work across the full spectrum of applied mathematics.

Campus Ambassadors

Our network relies on students and ECRs who champion QANZIAM at their home institution — promoting events, welcoming new students, and connecting them with opportunities, workshops, and seminars. Get in touch with your campus ambassador to propose new workshop and seminar ideas and find out what's happening near you.

QANZIAM Conference

Our flagship annual event — a day of research talks, keynotes, and networking with a focus on giving HDR students an opportunity to present their work. Rotates between Queensland universities each year.


QANZIAM Seminars

Shorter talks and informal sessions hosted throughout the year, often online or at a single campus. A great way to stay connected between conferences.

Executive Committee

Our volunteer committee organises events, manages the branch, and represents Queensland within the national ANZIAM body.
