The aim of the meeting is to build new bridges and to foster interactions between experts and young researchers working in the field of Calculus of Variations and Applied Analysis. A particular focus will be given to cutting-edge topics emerging in Material Sciences due to innovative engineering applications, such as nonlinear elasticity, fracture mechanics, plasticity, modelling of dislocations and defects, homogenization, as well as variational evolutionary problems.
Venue: The event will take place at Palazzone of the Scuola Normale Superiore.
Registration: There is no registration fee but registration is compulsory, due to the limited number of participants.
The registration deadline is March 31st.
