The European Mathematical Society

From 21st to 25th May 2012, the third edition of the summer school CANT will be organized in CIRM (Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques: international center of mathematical meetings in Marseille, France). Grants to cover living expenses are available (see details on the web pages).

The Journées de Statistique represent the most important scientific event of the French-speaking world of statistics. Since their creation, the Journées de Statistique have mainly been organized in France (Marseille 2010, Bordeaux 2009, etc.), but also in Canada (Ottawa 2008, Québec 1996), in Morrocco (Fès 2000), in Switzerland (Neuchâtel 1994, Lausanne 1987), and in Tunisia (Tunis 2011). Belgium has been the host in 1982, 1992 and 2002, and will pursue this decennial tradition with 2012.

The Workshop on Semigroups 2012 will be a special meeting to remember Professor John M. Howie.

MAIN SPEAKERS:
- John Fountain (University of York, UK)
- Victoria Gould (University of York, UK)
- Peter M. Higgins (University of Essex, UK)
- Donald B. McAlister (Northern Illinois University, USA)
- Jean-Éric Pin (Université Paris 7, France)
- Jim Renshaw (University of Southampton, UK)

This workshop is organized on the occasion of the sixtieth birthday of Patrizia Pucci. The aim of the conference is to bring together leading experts and researchers in nonlinear partial differential equations, to promote research and to stimulate interactions among the participants. The conference will continue the tradition of the previous meetings on PDEs methods and their applications held in Perugia in the last decades. The conference will honor Professor Patrizia Pucci on the occasion of her 60th birthday.

There will be four main courses, some seminars, communications, and
posters. The four courses will be taught by M. Capinski (Geometric
methods for invariant manifolds in dynamical systems), M. Gidea (Aubry
Mather Theory from a Topological Viewpoint ), H. Shahgholian (Obstacle
type free boundaries (Theory and applications)), and E. Valdinoci
((Non) local phase transition equations), within the Master of Science
in Advanced Mathematics and Mathematical Engineering (MAMME) of the UPC
Graduate School.

The ICPAM’12 conference is aimed to bring experts, researchers and postgraduate students who are already practicing in different fields of pure and applied mathematics from the entire world in order to discuss mathematical questions, exchange high level knowledge of methods and investigate diverse backgrounds theoretically and practically.

International Conference
"Theory of Approximation of Functions and its Applications",
dedicated to the 70th Anniversary of Corresponding Member of
National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Professor O.I. Stepanets (1942-2007)

Following the tradition of the preceding meetings in this series, the workshop aims at bringing together researchers in optimal control, dynamic games and nonlinear dynamical systems, as well as in economics, management, environment, population dynamics and social sciences.

The theme of this workshop is the computation, modeling, and mathematical analysis of heterostructured nanocyrstalline materials. This includes quantum dots, nanowires, graphene, and grain boundaries. These various phenomena will be discussed in the context of modeling and computation on different scales ranging from density functional theory to continuum mechanics. The workshop will also address various techniques that allow one to combine models on different scales to yield efficient computational methods.

The spring school consists in mini courses given by - Professor Peter A.
Markowich, University of Cambridge - Professor Sir John Ball, University of
Oxford - Professor Nassif Ghoussoub, University of British Columbia -
Professeur Didier Smets, Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6) - Professor
Kazunaga Tanaka, Waseda University - Professor Paolo Piccione, Universidade de
Sao Paulo and plenary talks by invited speakers. A Workshop will be held June
2. The participants will have the opportunity to present a short talk.
Submission should be done before April 15.

The intensive period will concentrate upon four topics. Each week of June will be devoted to one topic, with mini-courses and invited seminars at a doctoral/post doctoral level. Seminars at a more specialized level will be organized in July. Financial support (board and lodging) for young participants will be provided upon selection. Deadline for applications for financial support is March 15th, 2012. For detailed information about application procedure please link to http://crm.sns.it/event/233/financial.html

The proposed conference on the above theme will be held at University Sultan Zainal Abidin, Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia, From June 3-5, 2012 which aims to enable researchers build connections between different digital applications.

The workshop aims at providing a meeting place for researchers and practitioners in the area of parameter estimation for deterministic and stochastic differential equations, who will review different methods used to tackle the problems arising in these fields, assess the achieved progress and identify future research directions.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts in geometric analysis and foster interaction with researchers in neighbouring fields, such as differential geometry, numerical analysis, or applied mathematics. The focus is on problems giving rise to partial differential equations of higher order.
