Abstract

Interdisciplinary teams are of increasing importance and mathematicians can be valuable contributors to them. Mathematicians can be leaders, not just reactive problem solvers in these teams. PhD training for mathematicians should be augmented so that graduates are best able to contribute in this environment. The nature of some new PhD programs is described together with detail of the program of the Industry Doctoral Training Centre of the Australian Technology Network of Universities.
