* Intensive Research Month on Hyperbolic Conservation Laws and Fluid Dynamics *

^^ webpage: http:/www.unipr.it$\sim$crigia55intensive.html ^^

This intensive research period will take place at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Parma (Italy) throughout the whole month of February 2010. This event is funded by the ERC grant "Vectorial Problems" 207573 and by the University of Zuerich. In the subsequent months some more activities (on regularity results and qualitative properties for elliptic and parabolic vectorial problems) are also planned to take place in Parma. Organizing Committee: Emilio Acerbi (Parma), Claudio Arezzo (Parma), Gianluca Crippa (Parma), Camillo De Lellis (Zuerich) and Giuseppe Mingione (Parma).

Our schedule includes one-week courses given by:

-- First week (Feb. 1-5): Diego Cordoba (Madrid) - TBA Laure Saint-Raymond (ENS Paris) - "Mathematical models for large-scale oceanography"

-- Second week (Feb. 8-12): Stefano Bianchini (SISSA Trieste) - TBA Eduard Feireisl (Praha) - "Qualitative properties of solutions to energetically isolated fluid systems"

-- Fourth week (Feb. 22-26): Constantine Dafermos (Brown University) - "Hyperbolic Conservation Laws and Continuum Physics" Denis Serre (ENS Lyon) - "Viscous dissipation in systems of conservation laws"

In the third week (since February 15 through February 19) a workshop will be organized. Here is a list of invited speakers:

Giovanni Alberti (Pisa - Italy) - Luigi Ambrosio (Pisa - Italy) - Fabio Ancona (Padova - Italy) - Luigi Carlo Berselli (Pisa - Italy) - Yann Brenier (Nice - France) - Gui-Qiang Chen (Evanston - USA) - Francois Golse (Paris - France) - Helge Holden (Trondheim - Norway) - Pierre-Emmanuel Jabin (Nice - France) - Francois James (Orleans - France) - Philippe G. LeFloch (Paris - France) - Pierangelo Marcati (L'Aquila - Italy) - Roberto Natalini (Roma - Italy) - Mario Pulvirenti (Roma - Italy) - Giovanni Russo (Catania - Italy) - Eitan Tadmor (College Park - USA) - Athanasios E. Tzavaras (College Park - USA) * to be confirmed.

The detailed schedule will be soon available at:

Registration is free, but mandatory, for organization purposes. We shall also welcome contributed communications, mainly by young students and researchers, in particular during the weeks in which the courses will take place. The deadline for abstract submission is January 24.
