About:

The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts from different communities to cover the investigation of diffusive systems from several viewpoints: analytically, combining methods and techniques from Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and dynamical systems to derive and analyse mathematical models for the applied phenomena; numerically, reviewing the most recent techniques and software for the computation of bifurcation diagrams and continuation with respect to the systems’ parameters; and, last but not least, from the applied — in particular biological — viewpoint: a constant exchange of knowledge between the theoretical investigations and the experimental data is in fact crucial in order to advance the research in this area.

Our speakers will illustrate the most recent advancements in these fields, and foster the creation of new research directions with a concluding description of three open research questions aimed at colleagues working in fields different from their own. This will allow researchers with different backgrounds to learn ultimate techniques, connect with experts from various areas, and collaborate with fellow participants to produce new, cutting-edge research.

​Scam Warning

We are aware of a very convincing scam targeting participants in mathematical research events. These scammers may telephone or email you and tell you that they are organising accommodation in Edinburgh for you on behalf of ICMS. If you are approached by a third party (eg travellerpoint.org) asking for booking or payment details, please ignore. ICMS will never ask you for credit/debit card information. If we are booking accommodation for you, the email will come from ICMS, never a third party. It seems the scammers are picking up speaker names from workshop webpages so please be vigilant if you are attending other workshops elsewhere next year. This is not the only workshop and ICMS is not the only institute to be targeted. These scammers were prolific before the pandemic and would now appear to be back in business.

Public Lecture:

Jonathan Sherratt will deliver the public lecture, Diffusion in Deserts: Explaining Patterned Vegetation, on Tuesday 12 September from 18.00. The lecture will be held G.03 on the ground floor of the Bayes Centre. Further details can be found here. 

Workshop participants - a place will be automatically reserved for you and you do not need to register for this lecture.
