KoMSO sustains cooperative ties with both research groups and scientific institutions nationally and internationally, and seeks to enhance exchange between academia and industry while, simultaneously, strengthening interdisciplinary cooperation within the sciences in order to improve existing relations as well as to launch new initiatives.

At an international level, KoMSO serves as the German network node in the European Service Network of Mathematics for Industry and Innovation (EU-MATHS-IN), which consists of various national or multinational industrial mathematics networks. It is the declared goal of EU-MATHS-IN to “leverage the impact of mathematics on innovations in key technologies [through] enhanced communication and information exchanges” (Excerpt from Mission Statement).

EU-MATHS-IN consists of the following network nodes:

• Austria: IMNA - Industrial Mathematics Network for Austria
• Belgium: BE-MATHS-IN – Belgian Network for Mathematics in Industry
• Czech Republic: eu-maths-in.cz - Czech Network for Mathematics in Industry
• Finland: Finnish National Network on Mathematical Modelling
