The objective of the school is to provide a fruitful atmosphere for discussion and joint research work, involving mainly new research trends in elliptic partial differential equations and their applications. The school will be three days long and it will consist in three courses, three sessions long each, and a number of invited 30 minutes talks given by Ph. D. or Post Doc students. In the present edition, the courses will be delivered by Professors Peter Lindqvist (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway), Philippe Souplet (Universite Paris 13, France) and Julio Rossi (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina). The topics of the courses and the invited talks and more information on the event can be found in the web jjgarmel.wix.com/summerschoolinpdes. As for the invited talks, the scheduled participants are Diego Alonso Oran (ICMAT), Ernesto Correa Velandia (Univ. Carlos III), Carlos Esteve (Universite Paris XIII, France), Marta Latorre (Univ. Valencia), Rafael Lopez Soriano (Univ. Granada), Maria Medina (Univ. Catolica de Chile), Lourdes Moreno Merida (Univ. Granada), Alexis Molino (Univ.

The program of invited contributions will show how the scientific approach of systems analysis, traditionally followed in physics and engineering, can be used to tackle social problems. A series of paradigmatic examples will be presented in a particular sequence that allows the main issues of nonlinear dynamics and networks theory to be introduced: from bistability to catastrophes, from stationary and cyclic to quasi-periodic and chaotic regimes, from the spreading of successful strategies to the emergence of clusters in networks. The workshop is the 11th of a series of tutorial workshops annually organized by the Italian Society of Chaos and Complexity (SICC) to explore the emergence of new research fields in which the modeling of nonlinear phenomena plays a growing role. These workshops have been traditionally devoted to an interdisciplinary audience with particular attention to PhD students and young researchers. In this spirit, PMSS2016 is addressed to researchers working in various areas of science and engineering and interested in applying mathematical modeling to social sciences. More information on the workshop can be found in the web page: http://pmss2016.deib.polimi.it Early registration at a discounted fee is available before July, 1st 2016.

This year special emphasis is placed on - Optimal Control and Finite Elements - Discontinuous Galerkin and Space-Time Methods - Maxwell's Equations and Piezoelectric Problems Invited Speakers are - Eduardo Casas (University of Cantabria) - Herbert Egger (TU Darmstadt) - Manfred Kaltenbacher (Vienna University of Technology) - Thomas Wihler (University of Bern) Deadlines, Registration and further Information: http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/mathematik/fem-symposium/ Contact: fem2016@tu-chemnitz.de ------ Subject: Conference, Mathematics of Gas Transport From: Jeroen Stolwijk Date: June 22, 2016 The aim of the conference "Mathematics of Gas Transport" is to bring leading experts of different fields together who are interested in today's challenges in gas transport. These include but are not limited to computer scientists, engineers, industrial people and last but not least mathematicians. Indeed, the focus is to offer a platform for discussions between the various disciplines. One day, the industrial day, will address practical issues of daily gas transport. The second, scientific oriented, will point to research challenges, in particular related to mathematical issues. Please visit our web page http://trr154.fau.de to register. We are looking forward to welcoming you in Berlin. ------ Subject: Workshop, Nonlinear PDEs and Gradient Flows From: Michele Ruggeri Date: June 23, 2016 Nonlinear PDEs and Gradient Flows: Analytical and Numerical Aspects November 21, 2016 - TU Wien, Vienna, Austria The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers working on nonlinear PDEs, gradient flows and related problems, either from a modeling, analytical or numerical point of view.
