Subject: School on Reduced-Order Models for Nonlinear Dynamics in Fluid Flows
From: Peter Schmid <pjschmid@imperial.ac.uk>
Date: February 03, 2016

A Spring School on "Reduced-order models for nonlinear dynamics in
fluid flows" will take place in Montestigliano, Italy (Tuscany) from
17 to 23 April 2016. 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.

For more information about the workshop, including the application
procedure, please consult the ERCOFTAC website at
www.ercoftac.org/events/ercoftac_montestigliano_spring_school_2016/

Questions and applications should be directed to Peter Schmid
(pjschmid@imperial.ac.uk) or Shervin Bagheri (shervin@mech.kth.se).

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

3rd Edition
Workshop on Nonlinear Processes in Oceanic and Atmospheric Flows,
ICMAT, Campus Cantoblanco UAM, Madrid, Spain, 6-8 July 2016

http://nloa2016.ifisc.uib-csic.es

Dear colleagues,

It is a pleasure for us to announce the 3rd Edition of the Workshop on
Nonlinear Processes in Oceanic and Atmospheric Flows, to be held at
the Instituto de Ciencias Matematicas (ICMAT) from 6 to 8 July 2016.
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.

Invited Speakers:

J. Ballabrera (ICM, CSIC)
M. Cencini (ISC, CNR)
A. Gonzalez Ramos (U. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria)
J. Isern-Fontanet (ICM, CSIC)

Subject: Workshop, Modelling and Experiments in Drug Delivery Systems
From: Jose Augusto Ferreira <ferreira@mat.uc.pt>
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.
