Gradient Flows: From Theory to Application

 20 - 24 Apr 2015

ICMS, 15 South College Street Edinburgh

Scientific Organisers:

  • Bertram Düring, University of Sussex
  • Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb, University of Cambridge
  • Marie-Therese Wolfram, University of Warwick

About:

The main objective of this workshop was to bring experts from analysis, numerics and relevant applications together, initiate intra- and interdisciplinary collaborations and develop pathways from analytical and numerical methods into real-world applications. The workshop aimed to advance and improve the knowledge on gradient flows in established and novel research directions.

Several photographs and an excerpt from Martin Burger's public lecture have been uploaded here for your perusal. To read the ESAIM special issue for this ICMS workshop, click here.
