Description

General structure and lecturers

Our summer school aims to cover topics that are considered fundamental in the theory of Strichartz estimates. Three experts on the subject have been invited to deliver mini-courses and coordinate the learning activities: Neal Bez, Luca Fanelli, and David dos Santos Ferreira. 

Our activities will be oriented towards undergraduate and graduate students, and possibly early post-docs, with a strong preference for Ph.D. students. The projected number of participants will range between 18 and 24. 

The Summer School will mainly consist of two activities: mini-courses and student group projects. On the last day, the student groups will present to each other the work they did during the school.

Mini Courses

There will be three mini-courses, given by each of the invited speakers. Each mini-course will consist of four (4) 50-minute lectures. They will take place at BCAM during the first two days of the summer school: Monday, 1st, and Tuesday, 2nd of July. These mini-courses are aimed at all the students, and they will cover an introduction to each of the topics that each student group will work on.

Student group project

The next two days (Wednesday, 3rd, Thursday, 4th), the participants will work on the special topics. In groups of 3-4 people, they will collaborate, guided by the lecturer, on special topics related to the themes of the mini-courses. The group work will take place at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). 

During the morning of the final day, Friday, 5th of July, the summer school will conclude at BCAM with presentations of the special topics studied by the different groups. 

The groups will be formed with the preferred choices of each student in mind, but bear in mind that you might be assigned to any group. The abstracts of the lectures and the suggested topics for the working groups can be found here. 

Fellowships

There will be a maximum of 10 fellowships for participating students. These fellowships will cover accommodation in Bilbao during the summer school and two meals per day. The deadline for applying for a fellowship is the 15th of April of 2024. We kindly ask participants interested in applying for a fellowship to indicate so when filling out the application form. We stress that funded fellows will have to participate in all the teaching activities of the summer school and be present in Bilbao from Monday morning until Friday afternoon of the week of the summer school.
