The aim of this workshop is to bring together young researchers working on modelling, analysis and numerical aspects of applied models originating from engineering, medicine, and natural sciences. The program is divided into lectures from three internationally renowned experts providing an introduction into their research, and a series of contributed talks by early-career researchers. 

The idea for this meeting arose from the desire to foster networking and exchange between the young researchers of the applied mathematics groups of Aachen, Erlangen and Regensburg, with the goal to offer new perspectives that could spark creative thinking, inspire new areas of research, and potentially lead to collaborative projects. 

The research training group EDDy is based at RWTH Aachen and is focused on the investigation of nonlinear partial differential equations with a strong connection to practical applications where energy and entropy functionals and their dissipative mechanisms are important features to be utilized in mathematics.

The research training group IntComSin is a joint graduate school involving the Department of Mathematics at FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg and the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Regensburg with expertise related to interfaces, complex structures and singular limits. 

Combined, the two programs support more than 45 doctoral researchers and postdocs working on a range of topics, including: 

• Flow and transport in porous media

• Growth models with elastic stress

• Hyperbolic conservation laws 

• Kinetic partial differential equations

• Models in geometric knot theory

• Multi-phase and multi-field aspects in fluid flow 

• Variational methods in continuum mechanics

The workshop is expected to cover a variety of topics, which contain but are not limited to the research areas mentioned above. External researchers are kindly invited to apply to participate and to present their work in our poster session.
