The purpose of CAIR is to foster interactions between Mathematics and other disciplines in Sciences, Technology, and Social Sciences and to promote the implications of all areas of Mathematics in this endeavour.

More specifically, the committee works on the following tasks

• Fostering collaborations between mathematics and other disciplines through the facilitation and financial support of events targeted at such interdisciplinary interactions.
• Promoting the role of mathematics in applications through media and policy makers, and in close collaboration with the Mathematics Outreach and Engagement committee.
• To strengthen collaboration between the EMS, EU-MATHS-IN, ECMI and mathematical societies worldwide through sharing strategic goals and mutualsupport of activities.
• Encourage and support careers of mathematicians who work at the interface with applications.

The ECMI and EU-MATHS-IN presidents are invited to meetings of the committee in an advisory capacity.

CAIR meets four times a year.
