Highlights of the Year

In 2018, the RAPSODI project-team was strongly involved in the organization of scientific events. In particular, in the framework of the LabEx CEMPI thematic semester on Numerical Analysis and PDEs, the following events were organized by RAPSODI members:

• the Mathematics-Enterprises Study Week, co-organized at LILLIAD Learning Center by E. Creusé from January 29 to February 2;

• the third edition of the ABPDE conference (on Asymptotic Behavior of systems of PDEs arising in physics and biology), co-organized at LILLIAD Learning Center by C. Cancès, C. Chainais-Hillairet, I. Lacroix-Violet, and T. Rey on August 28-31;

• the second edition of the One-day conference on Calculus of Variations, co-organized at Laboratoire Paul Painlevé by I. Lacroix-Violet and B. Merlet on October 12;

• the fifth edition of the Lille days on Numerical Analysis (dedicated to domain decomposition and its applications to PDEs), co-organized at Laboratoire Paul Painlevé by C. Calgaro Zotto and E. Creusé on November 13-14.

A research school on Mathematics for Nuclear Energy was also co-organized at the Roscoff Marine Station by C. Cancès on July 2-6, in partnership with the GdR MaNu. Let us as well mention the organization in the CANUM (national NUMerical Analysis Congress) at Cap d'Agde from May 28 to June 1 of three mini-symposia by members of the team: one by C. Cancès on cross-diffusion systems, one by S. Lemaire on polytopal discretization methods, and one co-organized by T. Rey on kinetic models. Team contributions finally include the co-organization by E. Creusé of the Maths Jobs Forum that was held in Paris on December 13, and the co-organization by A. Zurek of the Young Mathematicians Regional Tournament that was held in Laboratoire Paul Painlevé on April 14-15.
