In 1991 started the series of the HAMSYS Symposia. These symposia brought together top researches from several countries, working mainly in Hamiltonian Systems and Celestial Mechanics, as well as many graduate students who had the opportunity to learn from and connect with the experts in the field. The emphasis of the talks of the VII-th HAMSYS Symposium, denoted HAMSYS-2014, will be on Hamiltonian dynamics and its relationship to several aspects of mechanics, geometric mechanics, and dynamical systems in general. The articles related with the communications presented at HAMSYS-2014 can be submitted to the proceedings of this Symposium which will be published in an issue of "Qualitative Theory of Dynamical Systems". All submitted papers will follow a refereeing process typical to any top mathematical journal. The HAMSYS-2014 will be dedicated to Professor Clark Robinson's 70th birthday. The organizers of this Conference are: Martha Alvarez, Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa, Mexico Montserrat Corbera, Universitat de Vic Josep M. Cors, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya Jaume Llibre, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona Ernesto Perez-Chavela, Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa Deadline for registration: May18th, 2014 A website for this activity can be accessed through the following link: http://www.crm.cat/2014/CHamsys We would also like to inform you that thanks to the generous support of the Clay Mathematics Institute we have announced a grant addressed to Young researchers, to help them participate in the Conference. You can check the details at: http://www.crm.cat/en/Activities/Pages/ActivityDescriptions/hamsys.aspx ------ Subject: Workshop and School, Interactions between Dynamical Systems and PDEs From: Raquel Caparros Date: Tue, 04 Feb 2014 13:12:51 +0100 Announcement of the EMS Summer School JISD2014 12th Workshop on Interactions between Dynamical Systems and Partial Differential Equations Barcelona, June 16th-20th, 2014 http://www.ma1.upc.edu/recerca/jisd/jisd2014 There will be four main courses of six hours each, and also some seminars, communications, and posters. The courses will be taught by: Alessio Figalli (The University of Texas at Austin) Konstantin Khanin (University of Toronto), Sylvia Serfaty (Universite Pierre et Marie Curie Paris 6) Susanna Terracini (Universita di Torino) The JISD2014 are organized by Xavier Cabre, Amadeu Delshams, Maria del Mar Gonzalez, and Tere M. Seara, from the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, with the support of the European Mathematical Society, the Clay Mathematics Institute, the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society, and the Catalan Mathematical Society. Financial support to attend the school is available (funds from the European Mathematical Society and the Clay Mathematics Institute). Deadline to apply for financial support to attend: March 31st. JISD 2014 Organising Committee ------ Subject: Workshop, Application of Ecological and Mathematical Theory to Cancer From: Eugene Kashdan Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 13:52:33 +0200 The International Workshop: "Application of ecological and mathematical theory to cancer: new challenges" will take place from May 12-15, 2014 in the National Institute for Mathematical Sciences (NIMS), Daejeon, Korea http://open.nims.re.kr/new/event/event.php?workType=home&Idx=139 The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers in mathematics, physics, engineering, oncology and ecology with the same goal of understanding how ecological principles and cellular processes can be used to gain new insights in cancer research and develop new principles of ecological management for better clinical outcomes. The abstract guidelines and submission deadline (mid-April) will be posted on the workshop website. The registration through the website will be open from the week of Jan. 20th. For inquiries and additional information please contact Prof. Yangjin Kim ------ Subject: 4th Phd School on Mathematical Modeling of Complex System From: Tassos Bountis Date: Sat, 25 Jan 2014 12:55:42 +0200 Dear Colleague: As you may know, the 1st, 2nd and 3d Ph.D. Schools on "Mathematical Modeling of Complex Systems" took place at Patras, Greece, in July 2011 (see http://www.math.upatras.gr/~phdsch11), Pescara, Italy, July, 2012 (see http://www.nodycosy.unich.it/) and Heraklion, Crete, 15 -27 July, 2013 (see http://nlsconf2013.physics.uoc.gr) with great success. They were each attended by nearly 40 highly qualified graduate students from around the world, who followed about 56 hours of instruction presented by invited world experts (an equivalent of 6 ECTS credits for each School) and were awarded an official Certificate of Participation. With this message I would like to inform you that the 4th PhD School on "Mathematical Modeling of Complex Systems" will be held 14 - 25 July, 2014, at the Cultural Foundation "Kritiki Estia" (seewww.kritikiestia.gr) in Athens, Greece (see http://nlsconf2014.physics.uoc.gr). The format is very similar to that of the other Schools but the courses and many of the speakers are different. Detailed information about the School, including courses, application instructions, etc. can be found in the attached First Announcement. Interested students are invited to apply to Dr. Astero Provata, at or Prof. Tassos Bountis, at . Each applicant is asked to submit a CV, including a transcript of grades obtained in his/her undergraduate studies, as well as a personal statement explaining why the School will be useful to his/her current studies. Please notify all graduate students and young researchers that you think may be interested to apply and post the attached First Announcement at prominent places in your Institute. Thank you very much for helping us disseminate this information as widely as possible and please excuse multiple receipts of this message.
