PoliTopes

We are pleased to announced a two day workshop on polytopal methods in Turin, Italy.

In recent years, polytopal methods for solving partial differential equations have gained significant attention within the scientific community, thanks to their remarkable ability to handle problems involving complex geometries. These methods offer great flexibility, accommodating hanging nodes and non-matching interfaces, and are well-suited for a wide range of applications, including mesh adaptivity, flow and transport in porous media, poromechanics, and wave propagation.

This workshop aims to bring together young researchers working on various polytopal approaches — such as Discontinuous Galerkin methods, Virtual Element Methods, and Hybrid High-Order methods — to exchange ideas and discuss the latest advancements in the field, from both theoretical perspectives and practical, engineering-oriented viewpoints.

The workshop will be held as an in-person event,  hosted by the Department of Mathematical Science of Politecnico di Torino.

Open for participation, no workshop fee, however registration is mandatory at the following link. The registration will expire on December 10, 2025.
