Transforming the World
through Mathematics
Kick-off conference of the Thematic Einstein Semester
October 26–30, 2020
The kick-off conference takes place from Oct 26—30, 2020 and is jointly organized by
Volker Mehrmann (TU Berlin)
Alexander Mielke (HU Berlin / WIAS)
Dirk Peschka (WIAS)
Marita Thomas (WIAS)
Barbara Wagner (TU Berlin / WIAS)
Matthias Liero (WIAS)
Scope
For this conference, we combine daily invited presentations (40 minutes including discussion) with other interactive discussion formats. In particular, we have parallel discussion sessions that are supposed to create the interactive discussion type of a poster presentation. We also have moderated discussion sessions (round table) on given topics, where we discuss promising research topics in the field of energetic- variational mathematical methods with the participants of the conference. The talks on Friday Oct 30 are organized in cooperation with the DFG CRC 910. All parts of the conference (invited talks, discussions and round table) are available online. If you plan to contribute a talk or a discussion contribution, please indicate this during the registration procedure (and we will provide additional information & extended abstract template afterwards).
Please find the extended program with the short abstracts included here.
