Flows involving solid particulates are ubiquitous in nature and industry alike. Such flows are found in pharmaceutical production, the chemical industry, the food and agricultural industries, energy production and the environment. Many unsolved problems remain, however. For example, the rejection rate by US pharmaceutical manufacturers is around 5% with the cost of losing a single batch of medication ranging from £50,000 to £500,000. In order to be able to solve such problems, granular flows need to be understood so that their behaviour can be controlled and predicted.
To date, we are able to describe rapid granular flows, where the particles are highly agitated and there has been some success describing static systems. The intermediate regime, where these two phases meet and coexist, is not as well understood and yet is the most commonly observed behaviour of granular flow.

The school is oriented to young researchers, Ph.D. and postdoctoral students in Mathematics, Physics and Engineering, in particular those interested in focusing their research on geometric control and its applications to mechanical and electrical systems, and optimal control. It is intended to present an up-to-date view of some fundamental issues in these topics and bring to the participants attention some open problems, in particular problems related to applications. This year the courses will be delivered by:
- M. J. Gotay, Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences, Canada.
Imperial College London, London, U.K.

Bałtycki Istytut Matematyki is organizing the Summer School on Dynamical Systems.
This meeting is mostly intended for Ph.D. students and postdocs working on Dynamical Systems.
It is a good opportunity to meet students with the same research interests.
We suppose to include the following topics:
- Stability Theory
- Chaotic Dynamics
- Ergodic Theory
- Billiards Theory
- and more
About twelve lecturers well-known in the field would give a 6 hours mini-course each.
Institut Mittag-Leffler, Djursholm/Stockholm, Sweden
The aim of the planned school is to present two mini-courses concerning the Bellman function technique.
The course of Professor Vasily Vasyunin is intended for the listener not familiar with the subject. On a series of more or less elementary examples will be explained what the Bellman function is, its main properties, what are the principal elements of the method, how to find the Bellman function for various problems. In the more advanced course Professor Alexander Volberg will describe some recently solved and unsolved problems mainly related to the theory of singular integral operators where the method was successfully applied or can be applied.
University of Reading, UK
The course aims to give the opportunity to a new generation of UK PhD students to attend high quality lectures on the analysis of PDE in fluid dynamics, delivered by leading international experts.
The four courses are broadly divided in two strands. The first, containing the courses given by Luigi Ambrosio and Yann Brenier, deals with applications in fluid dynamics of optimal transport methods, more specifically the variational approach to the incompressible Euler equations, and the monotone rearrangement and convection theory for the Navier-Stokes and semi-geostrophic equations.
The four main lecture course topics are:
- Variational models for incompressible Euler equations(Luigi Ambrosio, Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa)
- Monotone rearrangement and convection theory (Yann Brenier, University of Nice)
- Bifurcation theory in the context of steady water waves (Adrian Constantin, King’s College, London)
- Analysis of singularities in free-boundary problems (Georg Weiss, Heinrich Heine University, Düsseldorf)
Guest lectures will be given by Mike Cullen (Met Office) and Camillo De Lellis (University of Zürich).
University of Manchester, UK
The last five years seen a surprising and fruitful interaction between o-minimality, a branch of model thoery, and diophantine geometry. The most spectacular outcome of this interaction is Pila's proof of the André-Oort conjecture for products of modular curves (Annals of Math., 2011). There have been further important developments by several mathematicians including Masser, Zannier, Ullmo, Yafaev, Habegger, and Pila.
The three main lecture course topics are:
Rational points on definable sets (Alex Wilkie, Manchester)
Functional transcendence via o-minimality (Jonathan Pila, Oxford)
Diophantine applications (Philipp Habegger, Frankfurt)
There will be guest lectures given by David Masser (Basel), Andrei Yafaev (UCL) and Gareth Jones (Manchester).
These lecture courses will be supplemented by tutorial sessions.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together experts working on different aspects related to random perturbations and statistical properties of dynamical systems, as well as young researchers and PhD students interested in the area.
All the speakers are supposed to motivate their talks and embed them into a broad context, in order to make them accessible also to non-specialists. In addition, there will be a few survey lectures on recent advances and techniques used to describe from a statistical point of view randomly perturbed dynamics, and a few contributed talks by young researchers.

ICCM is a triennial event that brings together Chinese and overseas mathematicians to discuss the latest research developments in pure and applied mathematics. During the opening of the ICCM 2013, you will witness the presentation of the Morningside Medals, the most prestigious awards for Chinese mathematicians. During the conference, there will be at least fifteen plenary talks, several Morningside talks by international speakers, and over one hundred 45-minutes talks.

The Idea-Lab invites 20 postdoctoral researchers to the institute for a week during the summer. The program will start with brief participant presentations on their research interests in order to build a common understanding of the breadth and depth of expertise. Throughout the week, two or more leading senior researchers will give comprehensive overviews of their research topics. Organizers will create smaller teams of participants who will discuss, in depth, these research questions, obstacles, and possible solutions.
