It is sponsored by ERCOFTAC and intended for young scientists (doctoral and post-doctoral students) to learn, interact and study interdisciplinary topics of interest in fluid dynamics, turbulence and combustion. This year's topic is concerned with the design of reduced-order models, in particular for flow control applications. Special emphasis will be directed towards weakly and strongly nonlinear techniques. The keynote lecturer is Prof. Denis Sipp from ONERA-DAFE, France. The workshop provides an opportunity for hands-on project work in small groups, with close interaction with the keynote lecturer and the organizers.

The Instituto de Ciencias Matematicas (ICMAT) (www.icmat.es) is placed at Campus Cantoblanco UAM, 15 km up to the North of downtown Madrid. This workshop will allow cross-disciplinary interaction among mathematicians, physicists, oceanographers and atmospheric scientists in a wide sense. We intend to build on the momentum and interest resulting from the first and second meetings on this topic held in 2008 at Castro Urdiales, Spain and in 2012 at Madrid. Topics to be addressed are both theoretical and observational: Lagrangian structures in aperiodic flows, coherent mesoscale structures in the atmosphere and the ocean: jets and eddies, vortices, advances in nonlinear techniques applied to ocean and atmospheric data and gliders, characterization and measurement of ocean mixing and their interaction with biological processes, instabilities in geophysical flows, numerical modeling of ocean and atmospheric flows and the assessment of their predictive capacity.

Bristol) ------ Subject: Workshop, Modelling and Experiments in Drug Delivery Systems From: Jose Augusto Ferreira Date: February 04, 2016 Modelling and Experiments in Drug Delivery Systems 2016 workshop will take place from June 20-June 22, 2016, at the Department of Mathematics of University of Coimbra, Coimbra-Portugal. Mathematical modelling is playing an increasingly important role in the field of medicine through the use of models and numerical simulations. These models represent an extremely useful tool to complement theoretical and experimental work and provide personalised approaches for patient treatment. Controlled drug delivery systems like drug-eluting stents, transdermal patches, and intravitreal implants have become a common tool in clinical practice. These drug delivery systems combine a platform with a drug in a such way that the active agent is efficiently released to a target organ, while maintaining the drug concentration within a therapeutic window during an extended period of time. Devices and drugs can be tuned to meet the individual patient needs. The Modelling and experiments in drug delivery systems 2016 (MEDDS2016) workshop aims to present state-of-the-art research on modelling and experimental approaches for drug delivery systems. The goal is to bring mathematicians, biologists, physicians, and engineers together in an open discussion environment.
